Search Listings Below Information

Portland's Richmond neighborhood takes up quite a bit of real estate. It's located on the east side of the Willamette River and is bordered by Hawthorne, Abernethy, South Taber, and the Creston Kenilworth communities specifically SE. Powell Blvd. on the south, SE. Hawthorne Blvd. to the north, SE. 50th Ave. to the east and SE. 29th Ave. to the west. SE. Division St. dissects the community North and South with a variety of shops, restaurants, and markets both on Hawthorne, Division, and Powell Boulevard. Between these three major roadways are interspersed residential communities, historical homes, and elementary schools.

It's interesting to note that Richmond's characteristics are significantly different by location. Businesses and services up on Hawthorne Boulevard tend to have a trendy and funky environment where those on Powell Boulevard offer more suburban, strip mall and big box store services. Right down the middle on Division Street, there are few contemporary condominiums and a great food scene. In between, there are residential areas, tree-lined homes, and beautiful Victorian-style properties.

Richmond's neighborhood vibe continues to be an urban, artsy, and community-minded area with eco-conscious residents, some even choosing not to have a car as you can walk to a lot of services and amenities throughout Richmond. Outside of the area is a little bit quieter and family-friendly yet the closer you live to one of the main boulevards, you'll see more traffic and more amenities.
