About Us

The Powellhurst-Gilbert Neighborhood is a vibrant and incredibly diverse neighborhood. It boasts not only tremendous cultural and ethnic diversity, but also has or is immediately adjacent to some of the most incredible nature-based assets in the City of Portland. Residents enjoy great schools, countless Douglas firs, and large lots perfect for urban agriculture — a fitting tribute to the Neighborhood's farming past. The Neighborhood also has a very active Neighborhood Association and was named the 2009 Spirit of Portland Neighborhood of the Year.
