About this home
Exceptional opportunity to build on a .26 acre corner lot in the desirable Sylvan-Highlands neighborhood of Southwest Portland. Zoned R10, this property offers generous space, exceptional street frontage, and flexibility for a custom home in one of SW Portland’s most sought after residential pockets.

Enjoy easy access to the Marquam Nature Park trail system and nearby Council Crest, along with Washington Park attractions including Hoyt Arboretum, the International Rose Test Garden, and the Portland Japanese Garden, all just minutes away. The neighborhood’s elevated setting, mature surroundings, and strong residential character make it especially attractive for buyers seeking privacy with connectivity to Downtown Portland, Highway 26, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Water, sewer, and electrical are available to the site; buyer to verify utility locations and connection requirements. Proposed building plans available upon request to help visualize future possibilities. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding development potential.

Sylvan-Highlands, located between Washington Park and Forest Park, is a hillside and wooded Portland neighborhood with winding roads and trailhead gateways. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Washington Park MAX Station area along SW Jefferson St, where transit platforms, park entrances, and commuter foot traffic set a purposeful pace. The Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum, and the World Forestry Center anchor local culture with exhibits, canopy walks, and forest-focused programming. Homes range from mid-century lines to contemporary builds tucked into steep lots, often framed by tall firs. Daily rhythms follow trail runs, dog walks, and bike climbs up Skyline and Fairview. Foggy mornings and filtered light give the streets a quiet, evergreen feel.
