Northwest District, located between Burnside Street and Forest Park, is a historic and walkable Portland neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a strong café-and-boutique street scene. NW 23rd Avenue and NW Lovejoy Street concentrates the neighborhood’s character, where sidewalk patios, indie shops, and small galleries keep the sidewalks busy. Community pillars include Powell’s City of Books, Cinema 21, and the Portland Japanese Garden. Early-1900s apartment buildings and restored Victorians mix with contemporary infill along quiet, leafy streets. Forest Park trailheads and Washington Park’s cultural campuses shape daily routines as much as the dining rooms. Streetcar stops and bike routes stitch the district to downtown and the Pearl.
