University Park is a small, but mighty neighborhood named after the prestigious University of Portland, which takes up most of the neighborhood's real estate. Beyond the beautiful (and massive!) UP campus, the neighborhood is made up of modest, tree-lined residential streets with lawns adorned with Portland Pilots yard signs. What it lacks in shopping & dining, it makes up for in well-maintained green spaces, walking paths, parks, and a vibrant collegiate atmosphere. And with St Johns just a short trip away, you won't need to travel far for all of your needs.

"Getting out in nature is relatively easy even within Portland city limits, with dozens of parks and greenway ped/bike paths... but these days it's probably fair to be aware that our houseless crisis is at a level we've never seen before, and a lot of homeless camps are nuzzled in these spaces. For safety, and respect, it may be a good idea to avoid being in these areas too early or too late, and probably never go alone."
