About this Neighborhood

Lair Hill sits in the long, narrow ribbon of South Portland, tucked between the Willamette River and the West Hills just south of downtown. It is remarkably green for its size, with 20 parks, and remarkably tasty, with 51 restaurants averaging a high 4.8. Foursquare regulars gravitate toward food trucks, Mexican and Thai tables, and the juice bars and coffee shops that keep the strip bright, all backed by more than 3,100 Yelp reviews at 4.7. The Portland Farmers Market - PSU is the weekend centerpiece, Al Hawr brings Middle Eastern cooking, and Thai Yummy covers the noodle craving. With seven grocers and 10 coffee shops woven in, the neighborhood makes it easy to eat local and stay outdoors.
