Located about six miles southeast of Downtown Portland, Foster-Powell feels a world away from the clamor of the city. Residential areas make up most of the neighborhood, and locals enjoy peaceful, walkable streets and a strong community spirit fostered by the active neighborhood association. Kern Park and Essex Park provide open green spaces for jogging, dog walking, or impromptu picnics.
If you want to live close to the action in Foster-Powell — called FoPo by those in the know — look for apartments near the commercial areas along SE Powell Boulevard and SE 82nd Avenue. Here, residents gather to shop or to indulge in pan-Asian cuisine. For a true sense of the neighborhood camaraderie, stop in for brunch at the ultra-friendly Midpoint Food and Drink.

My family and I have lived in Foster-Powell for 3 years and I feel like it's Portland's best-kept secret. Housing is still reasonably priced, the neighborhood amenities are just as compelling as any other close-in neighborhood, and there are several truly excellent elementary schools that the neighborhood feeds into including Creston and Arleta. People who live here have a lot of pride about the neighborhood and are invested in it and each other. Don't sleep on FoPo.
