About this Neighborhood

Ladd's Addition is Portland's oldest planned residential development and one of the oldest in the western US, known citywide for a diagonal street pattern that defies the surrounding grid. Within its roughly eight-by-ten-block footprint sits a deep dining scene of 66 restaurants and 13 coffee shops, with reviewers awarding a near-perfect 4.9 average. Bordered by SE Hawthorne, Division, 12th, and 20th, the district is part of the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood. Locals gravitate toward coffee shops, breakfast spots, cafes, and its famous gardens, and eight fitness options keep the area active.
