The Buckman neighborhood is located in Southeast Portland. It is bordered by the Willamette River, Kerns, Sunnyside, and Hosford-Abernathy neighborhoods. The popular Hawthorne District along Hawthorne Boulevard is also located partially in Buckman along the southern boundary. The northern boundary along Burnside Street is home to the adjoining Kerns neighborhood. Buckman-Kerns is a popular area for dining in East Portland.
For bike riders, it’s an easy commute to the city with a dedicated bike route. In fact, you will find that many commuters on any given day rain or shine. The Buckman Historic Association is very active in the community and currently, they are applying to have a portion of the neighborhood from Southeast 12th Avenue and 20th Avenue and Morrison and Ankeny Streets listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Buckman’s Hawthorne District is the perfect combination of old-world charm and modern artistry.
