Listed by Cindy Johnson• John L. Scott Portland Central
St. Johns, located between the Willamette River and the Columbia River, is a historic and industrial Portland neighborhood with a working waterfront and a small-town main street. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around N Lombard St and N Philadelphia Ave, where taverns, record bins, taquerias, and old-school storefronts keep the sidewalks busy. The St. Johns Bridge frames daily views, while Cathedral Park sets a grassy stage beneath its gothic arches. Landmark Saloon, Slim’s Restaurant, and St. Johns Twin Cinemas act as local pillars for food, conversation, and a classic movie night. Housing leans to early-20th-century bungalows and cottages, with pockets of newer infill near Lombard. Forest Park’s north trails and river paths shape an outdoors-forward routine without leaving the peninsula.
