Neighborhood highlights

Welcome to the heart of Portland's culinary and cultural scene, commonly known as “Foodie Row.” Nestled in the vibrant Hawthorne/Buckman District, you'll find yourself within walking distance of a wide variety of top-notch local flavors—no chain restaurants here! This lively area is home to Powell's Books, Blue Star Donuts, music venues, and much more. Indulge in vegan poutine fries and grilled PB&Js at the Cartopia food cart pod, savor the wings around the corner at Fire on the Mountain, share a pie at Apizza Scholls (consistently voted Portland’s favorite pizza), or opt for an elegant evening at Castagna—all within a 1.5-mile stretch. But Portland isn’t just for foodies. The Hawthorne area boasts a vibrant indie spirit with numerous made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques to explore. Immerse yourself in this hipster haven by catching a movie at the Bagdad Theater and Pub, a revamped 1920s theater turned view-and-brew venue serving local McMenamins food and microbrews. For those who prefer outdoor activities, Mt. Tabor, a 196-acre city park atop a dormant volcano vent, offers miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city. Whether you’re bar hopping through the neighborhoods or seeking natural beauty, this area has something for everyone. If you want to experience the true Portland vibe, this is the place to stay. Enjoy the perfect blend of culinary delights, eclectic shops, and scenic parks that make the Hawthorne/Buckman District a must-visit destination.
