Uptown Portland is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Portland. The lively community spirit serves as a consistent draw for the neighborhood in addition to its unique historic charm and central locale. A broad mix of eclectic local businesses provides residents with tasty eats and entertainment options while quiet residential streets create a pleasant, small-town vibe.
Located just northwest of Downtown Portland and the popular Pearl District, Uptown Portland is a top choice for those seeking a short commute. Most spots in the neighborhood's residential areas are less than three miles from downtown, making a quick trip by bike or public transportation feasible.
Along with being close to downtown, the neighborhood has plenty of its own charms. Uptown Portland is often nicknamed Nob Hill, a nod to the upscale neighborhood in San Francisco.
