St. Johns is a true local favorite, where you can experience the authentic heart and soul of one of Portland’s most vibrant communities.
Ideally located, you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of the city’s best natural and urban attractions. The Willamette River and Forest Park lie just to the west, while downtown Portland is a quick drive to the south—putting you right in the center of it all.

Within just a few blocks, you’ll also find sweet treats like ice cream and candy shops, as well as bike shops and everyday conveniences.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love being just across the iconic St. Johns Bridge from Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the country, offering miles of scenic trails for walking, running, and mountain biking. The trail system connects all the way to Northwest Portland and Washington Park, home to some of the city’s most popular attractions.
The neighborhood is rich in history and community spirit, with seasonal events like the weekly Saturday Market and a lively Farmers Market during the warmer months. Annual favorites such as the St. Johns Parade, Ale Fest, and the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival draw both locals and visitors alike, creating a vibrant atmosphere that’s not to be missed.

Getting around St. Johns is easy and convenient. The home is just a few blocks from the University of Portland and about a 10-minute drive to Vibrant Downtown area of Vancouver Washington just over the Interstate Bridge, NE Portland Alberta Arts area and NW Portland, including the popular NW 23rd Avenue and Pearl District.

The neighborhood is highly walkable and bike-friendly, making it easy to explore local shops, restaurants, and parks without a car. For those who prefer not to drive, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available, and there’s a bus stop just a block away.
You may find you don’t need to leave the neighborhood at all—St. Johns offers plenty to see and do right outside your door. If you do venture further, Portland’s public transit system, including TriMet buses, the streetcar, and MAX light rail, provides easy access to the greater metro area.
