Multnomah Village, located between Hillsdale and Garden Home, is a walkable and village-like Portland neighborhood with a compact main street and a wooded, creekside backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SW Multnomah Blvd and SW 35th Ave, where bookshops, bakeries, pubs, and small galleries line the sidewalks. Landmark architecture leans Craftsman and mid-century, with tidy bungalows and low-slung ranch homes on leafy blocks. Village Books anchors the literary streak, while the Multnomah Arts Center adds studios, classes, and performances. Gabriel Park’s trails and fields shape daily routines, and nearby Tryon Creek State Natural Area brings a forested edge to the grid.
