Nestled alongside the Willamette River, Portland’s Waterfront neighborhood stretches from the intersection of I-5 and I-405 in the south to Old Town Chinatown in the north. Situated just east of Downtown Portland, the Waterfront provides a peaceful reprieve from the bustle of city life without sacrificing access to metropolitan amenities.
The neighborhood is home to Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a 30-acre park boasting a scenic walking and biking path, numerous fountains, and lush landscaping. Waterfront also hosts the popular Portland Saturday Market, where patrons enjoy an array of arts and crafts in an open-air environment.
Waterfront residents delight in close proximity to countless eateries, cafes, markets, and shops. The neighborhood’s central location is a major draw for many residents, touting easy access to Portland State University and all that downtown has to offer.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
