SE Oak 4 (1235)

Commonly known as “Foodie Row,” the Hawthorne/Buckman District puts you within walking distance of a wide variety of top-notch local flavors (no chain restaurants here!). Make new friends over vegan poutine fries and grilled PB&Js at the Cartopia food cart pod, savor wings just around the corner at Fire on the Mountain, share a pie at Apizza Scholls (consistently voted Portland’s favorite pizza), or enjoy a fancy night out at Castagna—all within a 1.5-mile stretch. Portland isn't just for foodies; the vibrant indie spirit of Hawthorne shines through with numerous made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques to explore in this hipster haven. Catch a movie at Bagdad Theater and Pub, a revamped 1920s theater turned view-and-brew venue serving local McMenamins food and microbrews. If bar hopping through neighborhoods isn’t your idea of recreation, head up to Mt. Tabor, a 196-acre city park atop a dormant volcano vent. Here, you’ll find miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city. The diverse attractions in the Hawthorne/Buckman District ensure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our apartment's prime location offers numerous convenient transportation options to help you explore the city with ease. The neighborhood is highly walkable, with an array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options just steps away. Stroll down nearby streets to discover local favorites, boutique shops, and cozy cafes. Portland is also known for being exceptionally bike-friendly, with numerous bike lanes and a bike share program (BIKETOWN) available. There are bike racks nearby for secure parking, making it easy to get around on two wheels. TriMet, Portland’s public transit system, is a great way to get around the city. The #14 Hawthorne bus line is just a short walk from the apartment, providing easy access to downtown Portland and other key areas. Additionally, the Portland Streetcar and MAX Light Rail are nearby options for broader city exploration. For those who prefer rideshare services, Uber and Lyft are readily available, offering a convenient way to travel further afield or when you’re in a hurry. Traditional taxis can also be hailed or scheduled in advance. If you have a car, on-street parking is available, though it can be limited during peak hours. Be sure to check the parking signs for any restrictions. For longer stays or guaranteed spots, there are nearby parking garages and lots that offer hourly or daily rates. Portland also has several car-sharing services like Zipcar and Getaround, providing the flexibility of a rental car without the need for traditional rental agencies.
