Piedmont, located between NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and NE 15th Ave, is a residential and historic Portland neighborhood with tree-lined streets and classic Craftsman homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the NE Killingsworth St and NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd crossroads, where corner markets, cafes, and small eateries keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include the historic McMenamins Kennedy School, the Alberta Rose Theatre, and the Portland Community College Cascade Campus. Blocks of early-20th-century bungalows mix with tidy apartment courts and pocket gardens. Alberta Park adds open lawns, sports courts, and a steady rhythm of walkers and pick-up games. Bike routes and frequent bus lines stitch Piedmont into the Alberta Arts and Williams corridors.
