Fabulous location! Quiet street but easy walking distance to PSU and downtown. Zoning is high density. Sunny turn of the century Victorian. Liveable and rentable right now, but also needs renovation and repairs. Some character and charm . Fir floors, nice size rooms, high ceilings.

About South
Portland
South Portland, located between the South Waterfront and Lair Hill, is a riverfront and residential Portland neighborhood with modern condo towers and greenway trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SW Moody Avenue by the Portland Aerial Tram and OHSU’s South Waterfront campus, where cafes, riverwalk promenades, and bike traffic set a steady tempo. Pillars include the Portland Aerial Tram, the Center for Health & Healing, and the South Waterfront Greenway. Architecture leans contemporary—glass mid-rises, new construction, and clean-lined streetscapes—framed by the Willamette River. The riverwalk and pocket parks shape a daily rhythm of walking, cycling, and waterfront views. Streetcar tracks and pedestrian bridges tie the district to downtown and the Central Eastside.
