Tucked between the vibrant King and Sabin districts, Vernon is a hidden gem in NE Portland, boasting a uniquely diverse community. Just a hop, skip, and a jump north of the buzzing Alberta Street, Vernon has easy access to a myriad of shopping, dining, and entertainment hotspots. Make a date to explore and immerse yourself in the cultural mosaic that is Vernon – a treasure trove of inclusivity among Portland neighborhoods!

Homes in the area are cute, older houses, with a few apartments, townhouses, cottages, bungalows, and condos thrown in. Many were built in the first decades of the twentieth century, with a smattering of newer construction. Housing here is affordable, drawing many young families and first-time homeowners to the neighborhood. Depending on the area, it may not be quite as safe as other neighborhoods, but many see Vernon as an up-and-coming neighborhood that will continue improving as time goes by.

Alberta Park, a vibrant oasis in the heart of the neighborhood, beckons nature lovers with its refreshing off-leash dog haven. Bordering the park’s southern edge, Vernon Elementary School stands proudly amidst the lush greenery. The charming Alberta Park trail embraces the park and school grounds, delighting joggers and canine companions alike as they traverse its scenic paths.

As if the verdant landscape wasn’t enough, the vivacious Alberta Street lures you to its array of beloved dining spots dotted along the neighborhood’s southern fringe. Venture further, and Killingsworth Street promises even more culinary adventures to satiate your cravings. With everything within a leisurely stroll, Vernon ensures an incredibly convenient and serene lifestyle.

And did we mention? A hassle-free commute to downtown Portland awaits you too! So, come and experience the enigmatic allure of Vernon – an urban paradise that has it all.
