Neighborhood


Portland is a city of neighborhoods - each with its own distinctive character. The city's excellent transportation system, including the MAX light-rail network, buses, Portland Streetcar and freeways, highways, streets and bike paths make travel throughout the region's many communities and the Central City pleasant and easy.

Located in and adjacent to the Cultural District and Goose Hollow neighborhoods, the Gentry, Winston and Commodore Apartments each provide convenient access to all the best Portland has to offer.

Goose Hollow
All three apartments are located on the edge of this wonderful Portland neighborhood, with many unique attractions at your doorstep.

Pioneer Courthouse Square
Just a few blocks east of your apartment, Pioneer Courthouse Square serves as Portland's town square. Often called "Portland's Living Room", the square is the site of concerts, rallies, the annual Christmas tree lighting and more. The square is flanked by some of Portland's best shopping - from Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue to countless specialty stores and boutiques - extensive dining, cinemas, and the Portland Center for the Performing Arts.

Cultural District
The cultural district is home to the Portland Art Museum, Oregon History Center, Portland Center for the Performing Arts, Keller Auditorium and Roseland Theater, as well as many points of interest.

South Park Blocks
Stretching more than a dozen blocks from Burnside Ave. south to the campus of Portland State University, the South Park Blocks are some of the most beautiful public space in Portland. Tree covered and flanked by museums, theater and shopping, the blocks are also home to various seasonal activities including a weekly Farmers Market in the spring, summer and fall months.



Portland State University
Located right downtown, just a short walk or streetcar ride from your apartment, is Portland State University.

Pearl Districts
"The Pearl" is Portland's answer to New York's SoHo district, and home of the greatest concentration of art galleries than anywhere else in the city. The Pearl is also the site of superb dining and unique shopping.

Nob Hill/NW 23rd Avenue
Here, stretching out from NW 21st and 23rd avenues, you'll find many of the city's best restaurants and most unique shopping nestled among the tree-lined sidewalks.
