Creston-Kenilworth, located between SE Powell Blvd and SE Holgate Blvd, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a grid of leafy streets and a pocket-park rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SE 28th Ave and SE Gladstone St, where corner cafes, small restaurants, and everyday shops keep the sidewalks active. Landmark Saloon, Creston Park, and the historic Kenilworth Presbyterian Church act as familiar community touchpoints. Early-20th-century bungalows and cottages mix with modest midcentury apartments and newer infill. Bike routes and frequent bus lines thread toward inner-SE and downtown. Creston Park’s open lawns and sports courts set a steady, outdoorsy cadence.
