A towering statue of Paul Bunyan on its main road characterizes the historic ambiance of Kenton. Renting an apartment in this neighborhood will allow you easy access to downtown Portland, which lies several minutes to the south by car or public transportation. To the northwest, outdoor enthusiasts enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and hiking in the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area.
For picnics, cycling, jogging, basketball, and other sports activities, head for the green expanses of Kenton Park. When it's time to eat, relax with a cold beer and a pizza at Fino Pizzeria, or join soul food enthusiasts from all over Portland who flock to Po'Shines Cafe De La Soul for Creole and Cajun cuisine.
