The Neighborhood:
The Hawthorne/Buckman District places you within walking distance of a diverse array of top-notch local flavors! Make new friends over food at the Cartopia food cart pod, or share a pie at Apizza Scholls.
Portland isn’t just for foodies. Hawthorne’s vibrant indie spirit is alive with an abundance of made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques to explore, making it a true 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 fun, head up to Mt. Tabor, a 176-acre city park atop a volcanic cinder cone. Here, you’ll find miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city, perfect for a day of outdoor adventure.

Other Things to Note:
🏡 Property Setup
The basement is a separate personal/office space with its own entrance. There are no shared interior spaces, but the host may come and go from that separate area at times.
🌿 Outdoor Space
Outdoor seating is on the large front porch and rear deck. There is not a fenced yard; the ground-level outdoor area is a grassy parking strip/driveway area.
🚗 Parking
The driveway is around back and is steep, so low-clearance vehicles may prefer nearby free street parking where permitted; follow posted signs and allow for open spaces.
Upstairs rooms can be warmer than the main floor, and thermostat settings have limits.
🚭 No Smoking or Vaping
Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere on the property, indoors or outdoors. Guests who wish to smoke or vape must leave the property completely.
