Listed by Jessica Berger• Cascade Hasson Sotheby's International Realty
John's Landing, located between South Waterfront and Multnomah Village, is a river-adjacent and residential Portland neighborhood with marina views and a tucked-away, campus-like street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SW Macadam Avenue near the John’s Landing retail cluster, where low-slung storefronts, patios, and service shops line the corridor. Architectural cues lean mid-century apartments, townhomes, and contemporary infill set against wooded slopes and the Willamette’s working shoreline. The river path and pocket docks shape a daily rhythm of walks, rowing shells, and passing freight. Local pillars include Elephant’s Delicatessen, the John’s Landing Yacht Club, and Willamette Park’s riverfront lawns. A calm, polished feel comes from greenery, water, and the steady hum of Macadam traffic.

C
Residential Multi-Dwelling 1 Zone
The RM1 zone is a low-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in locations intended to provide a transition in scale to single-dwelling residential areas, such as the edges of mixed-use centers and civic corridors, and along or near neighborhood corridors. Allowed housing is characterized by one to three story buildings that relate to the patterns of residential neighborhoods, but at a somewhat larger scale and building coverage than allowed in the single-dwelling zones. The major types of new development will be duplexes, triplexes, rowhouses, courtyard housing, small apartment buildings, and other relatively small-scale multi-dwelling and small-lot housing types that are compatible with the characteristics of Portland's residential neighborhoods.
