Where to Stay in Portland: Exploring the Best Neighborhoods and Airbnbs

Planning a trip to Portland and wondering which neighborhood to stay in? This guide will help you make an informed decision, taking into account everything from walkability and transportation to local dining and wine country opportunities.

Absolutely Walkable: Downtown NW and The Pearl

Both Downtown NW and The Pearl are located in the heart of Portland, featuring excellent walkability and the convenience of convenient transit access. Walking down the picturesque streets, you'll notice the stunning brick buildings and charming Victorian houses that make NW a vibrant historic district. If you want to explore Portland's best attractions, these neighborhoods are your go-to.

If you're looking for an estimated monthly cost, expect to pay between $1,000 to $1,500 for one-bedroom apartments in these areas. For budget-friendly options, consider renting a room instead. Make sure to check out local Tai Chi or yoga studios, which can often offer free classes for newcomers.

Infinity Pool Living in Airbnb

Planning to stay a bit longer? Consider checking out Airbnb for a truly unique experience. Here are some recommendations for neighborhoods to look into:

Inner Southeast: The Hawthorne District offers numerous cozy options, perfect for long stays. This trendy area is rich in local culture and amenities. Northeast Portland: This area is known for its diverse culinary offerings, with popular spots like Pok Pok and Salt Straw. You can find many delicious options within walking distance. Southeast Portland: Stay in cozy Airbnb rentals near the Hawthorne Bridge, where you can enjoy a variety of meals from local eateries.

Beautiful Views and Wine Country

For those looking for a full experience, consider staying in Tigard or Beaverton. These areas offer stunning views of wine country, with approximately a 45-minute drive to Multnomah Falls and McMinnville. Both of these locations have a rich history of wineries to explore.

Without a car, Tigard and Beaverton are still central spots, making them easy to explore from Portland. Both areas are within a 45-minute drive to major attractions such as Multnomah Falls and McMinnville, home to over 10 amazing Oregon wineries.

Our Expertise

I currently reside in Tigard and love the inner NorthEast and Southeast Portland areas for their amazing array of restaurants and unique atmosphere. From Pok Pok on Division to Salt Straw and Padnahs Pit on 17th and NE Killingsworth, there are countless dining options within walking distance.

Recommended Airbnb Options

For those who prefer staying in a home rather than a hotel, I have two friends with small houses in Beaverton available on Airbnb. These are centrally located and would be perfect for visiting both wine country and the attractions of the Portland metro area.

Getting There and Around Portland

Whether you're flying into Portland International Airport or traveling from Tigard, you'll find getting around the city is hassle-free. Portland has an efficient public transportation system, including buses and trains, making it easy to reach your chosen neighborhood from anywhere.
