About this Neighborhood

Nob Hill, part of Portland's Northwest District, packs Craftsman houses, old apartments and new condos tightly together within strolling distance of everything. Sixty-five restaurants and a staggering 22 coffee shops, the latter averaging 4.8 stars, make this one of the most caffeinated, well-fed corners in the city. The streetcar's NS Line terminates here, stitching the district into the Pearl and downtown, so the energy stays high without feeling frantic. Nine grocers, five gyms and three parks round out a neighborhood built for people who'd rather walk than drive.
