Sunnyside is a vibrant, creative neighborhood in Southeast Portland that stands out for its artistry and innovative repurposing of anything from car garages to restaurants into livable homes. Wander the streets here and you’ll find colorful murals breathing new life into old buildings. Plus, at Sunnyside Environmental School students have taken sustainability teaching even further with gardening projects, woodworking classes and more!
Sunnyside also boasts incredible shopping and food choices. Hawthorne’s proximity and accessibility to the entire Sunnyside neighborhood allow easy commutes to the thrift stores and coffee shops lining Hawthorne. Sunnyside also claims the Belmont shopping district lined with great cafés, art galleries and shops, as well as a true southeast landmark: Electric Castle’s Wunderland. This area has an artsy and free vibe overall.
