Sellwood-Moreland overlooks the Willamette River, and it’s only five miles south of Downtown Portland. The community began in 1847 and has blossomed into a thriving environment of parks, restaurants, retail, and coffee shops.
Families enjoy spending an adventurous day at the Oaks Park, an amusement park with carnival games and rides. Residents look forward to casual bike rides on the trail adjacent to the railroad tracks, which also links the neighborhood of Milwaukie to Portland.
Along Milwaukee and Southeast 13th Avenues, you’ll find a plethora of modern restaurants, upscale boutiques, vintage shops, and the Moreland Theater. Wetlands, native plants and birds are found at the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge – where you just might catch a glimpse of the great blue heron, the city’s official bird. Just below Sellwood-Moreland is where you’ll discover Waverley Country Club.
