It's true. All views are not created equal. And never has that been more apparent. City views. River views. Mountain views. Waterline has them all...and by extension, so can you. Living at Waterline opens up tons of possibilities. Not only is there the convenience of living where you work-or close to it, but there's also the satisfaction of loving where you live. Located on Portland's riverfront between the Northwest Alphabet and the Pearl Districts, you can walk to New Seasons Market, bike to hip restaurants, stroll to trendy boutiques, or hop on the streetcar to your favorite craft brewery. It's totally up to you. Choose your space and pick your view. You're not like everyone else. Why should your home be any different?

Neighborhood

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.

School data provided by 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.
