Pearl District
Not so long ago, the now epically restored Pearl District was a collection of abandoned warehouses and rail yards. Previously named the “Triangle District”, the “Pearl District” got its new name in March of 1987. The district’s fresh title was coined by Terry Hammond, a tenacious journalist who worked for “The Rose Arts Magazine.” Terry thought that, considering the art and artists inhabiting the rundown old warehouses, the area was like an oyster with a hidden pearl. It’s this rich history that gives the Pearl its distinctive character and livability.
From its once-abandoned state, the Pearl was carefully resurrected and updated to house sleek, modern design features on a beautifully reinstated backdrop. With this one-of-a-kind aesthetic and it being part of downtown Portland, the area has become a mecca for young professionals.
Nob Hill
A quick walk west will take you to the “Northwest District” and in it you will find Nob Hill. Also known as the “Alphabet District” because of its alphabetically named streets. Nob Hill is where you’ll find larger turn-of-the-century Portland homes lining picturesque streets.
Running along the edge of Nob Hill is NW 23rd Ave. NW 23rd is known for its long stretch of impressive restaurants and boutique stores. Embossed into stunning historic architecture, you’ll find a ton of ultra-unique places to shop and eat. This area also has an incredible Walk Score of 93. And, if you need to get somewhere a little faster than on foot, there are always Ubers, Nike bikes, and plenty of scooters closeby.
Some other popular Northwest attractions include (but are not limited to) Powell’s Books, Portland Japanese Garden, Pittock Mansion, Lan Su Chinese Garden, Ground Kontrol Classic arcade, The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium and Museum, the Shanghai Tunnels, and Forest Park.
