South Portland, Portland, Oregon

South Portland is a long, narrow neighborhood just south of Downtown Portland, Oregon, hemmed in between the Willamette River and the West Hills.

The Willamette forms the eastern boundary, and SW Barbur Blvd.

In addition to Downtown to the north, other bordering neighborhoods are Southwest Hills, Homestead, Hillsdale, and South Burlingame to the west, and Hosford-Abernethy, Brooklyn, and Sellwood-Moreland across the river on the east.

[3] South Portland was the name of a 19th-century community that overlapped the present day neighborhood.

Bounded roughly by SW Arthur, Front, Grover, Hood, and Curry Streets and SW Barbur Boulevard, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 31, 1998.
