Kenton Neighborhood – Your New Home

The Lindley Team at Mortgage Express | 503.517.8641

Kenton is a North Portland neighborhood near the airport. Although it might seem far from downtown, it is actually just a 10 minute drive as it is conveniently accessible to I-5. The MAX light rail station is also right in this area. One interesting thing about this area is that it is home to the Portland International Raceway and the Portland Expo Center. This area also has quite the unforgettable statue- a 31 foot tall statue of Paul Bunyan! This was added years ago to Oregon State’s centennial celebration. This statue is in the National Registry of Historic Places.

While the area used to have tons of factories and other industrial areas, it has evolved over the decades. Now, the streets have a lot of life, with many small local businesses and restaurants occupying storefronts along Denver Avenue.

This neighborhood is considered “working class” and prices tend to be quite affordable. This area also has a lot of diversity. Increasingly, people are considering this area so that they can get a good deal on a home. Styles include bungalows, Portland style homes and also some new developments. Golfers will also like the fact that Kenton is near two places to golf- the Heron Lakes Golf Course and the Columbia Edgewater Golf Club.
