Neighborhoods of Portland

There are roughly 97 neighborhoods in Portland. Every Sunday we will spend some time praying for and highlighting one or two of these neighborhoods.

This Week's Focus: University Park

Focus Date: Week of November 6th
UNIVERSITY PARK
​The neighborhood gets its name from University of Portland, the private Catholic college, funded in 1901, located within its borders. Young, old, singletons, and families all call this neighborhood home, giving it a vibrant feel. There is a large student population in this neighborhood due to the University of Portland. This is an active, outdoorsy area—rain or shine, you’ll see bikers, runners, and dog walkers on Willamette on streets surrounded with old growth trees.
Focus Date: Week of October 30th
FOREST PARK
Community focused sums up Forest Park. A little yuppy, a little hippy, image- and health-conscious, dog walkers, joggers, bicyclists are Forest Park staples. Forest Park is not only a defined Portland neighborhood, but an urban city park as well. The park itself is truly a slice of lush green heaven. Comprised of more than 5,000 acres, it sits smack dab in the middle of Portland. The close proximity to downtown and other popular neighborhoods makes Forest Park a highly coveted area.
Focus Date: Week of October 30th
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS

​Upscale, without a doubt. We’re talking gorgeous, expansive homes with stunning views of nature and cityscapes. Greenery and nature abounds, in the park and beyond. This neighborhood is an amazing choice for those who can afford the view and close proximity to Downtown and Washington and Forest Parks. The Arlington Heights neighborhood is almost entirely residential, so you won’t see any business strips here.
