Portsmouth Neighborhood – Your New Home
The Lindley Team at Mortgage Express | 503.517.8641
Portsmouth is an up-and-coming neighborhood nestled in North Portland, near University Park and St. Johns. Although you won’t find much action within its borders, this charming area provides easy access to local amenities – including Jantzen Beach Shopping Center for shopaholics and those seeking organic fare should look no further than nearby Arbor Lodge’s New Seasons market!
Portsmouth is an intriguing real estate landscape, where stunning historic properties sit across from more modest residences. It’s a diverse city too; home to both students attending the University of Portland alongside young families and retirees – all mixed together in one charming coastal community. With its transitioning market, there may be great opportunities for investors looking to turn their profits into something grand!
There are some very nice parks in Portsmouth including Portsmouth Park, McKenna Park and University Park. Northgate Park is also quite popular with the locals. Another positive aspect of this area is that it is great for bikers. You can pretty easily get to other areas in Portland just on your bike.
