About Madison
South
Madison South, located between NE 42nd Avenue and NE 60th Avenue, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a grid of tree-lined streets and a steady rhythm of corner storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along NE 42nd Avenue near NE Killingsworth Street, where cafes, small restaurants, and everyday shops keep sidewalks active. Classic Portland bungalows and mid-century houses sit behind low fences and mature street trees. Fernhill Park sets a broad, open backdrop for walks, pickup games, and community gatherings. The Alberta Arts District edges the south side with galleries and independent dining. Transit lines along NE Killingsworth and NE 42nd tie the area to the rest of the city.
