Characterized by a blend of urban style and suburban peacefulness, the Brentwood-Darlington is a beautiful neighborhood perfect for renters who want an authentic Portland experience. Great for nature lovers and eco-friendly enthusiasts, this wooded neighborhood has several parks and several large-scale urban gardening projects including the Portland State University Learning Gardens Laboratory and the Brentwood Community Garden. Brentwood-Darlington’s flat terrain and abundance of bike lanes make the area popular for commuters and recreational cyclists. Along with a lush, pastoral feel, renters are attracted to Brentwood-Darlington for its unique architectural styles including Portland four-square houses, Cape Cods, and bungalows. The neighborhood also has affordable to upscale modern apartments available for rent. Similar to many Portland neighborhoods, Brentwood-Darlington has a close-knit community with an active neighborhood association that hosts forums, clean-ups, and other special events.
Brentwood-Darlington isn’t necessarily a commercial hub, but it does provide retail and dining gems sprinkled through the neighborhood for residents to enjoy. Visit one of the area’s unique specialty shops and dive bars like the Starlight Knitting Society and Misdemeanor Meadows. For a great meal, follow the locals and head to the Cartlandia, a food truck buffet serving up international eats. For even more shopping, dining, and entertainment options, Downtown Portland is only seven miles away.
