Corbett, located between the South Waterfront and Lair Hill, is a hillside and river-adjacent Portland neighborhood with sweeping I-5 overpasses and pocket viewpoints. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SW Corbett Ave near the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge, where commuter traffic, stair streets, and small storefronts meet the tram’s glide overhead. Older cottages and mid-century apartments sit beside newer infill, with steep blocks that turn walks into mini climbs. The Portland Aerial Tram and the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge shape daily movement between the hill and the river plain. Nearby, OMSI and the Oregon Rail Heritage Center add hands-on culture along the Central Eastside edge. Terwilliger Parkway and its wooded curves frame the neighborhood with a quieter, scenic counterpoint.
