East Bayside rewrites the waterfront playbook, blending old brick warehouses and shipyard-era blocks with maker studios, small-batch roasters, and neighborhood taprooms. Steps from the heart of Portland, its Anderson Street corridor hums with craft and culinary experimentation, weekend pop-ups, and patio conversations in every season. Coffee lovers gravitate to the Diamond Street roastery at Coffee By Design, a local icon with tours and tastings through its Coffee By Design headquarters.
Outdoors, the car-free Bayside Trail by Portland Trails threads through the neighborhood, linking to Back Cove and the Eastern Prom for jogs at sunrise or stroller-friendly loops. Pocket parks like Kennedy Park and Fox Field offer open space for pickup games and playground time, while streets are flat and bikeable, and METRO bus lines make commuting simple. The arts-and-design influence is close at hand, with galleries downtown and campus programming from Maine College of Art & Design nearby.
Families appreciate access to Portland Public Schools, with the K–5 hub at East End Community School, followed by King Middle School and Portland High School. Daily needs are handled locally, yet the galleries and eateries of Munjoy Hill and the business core of Bayside are a quick walk away.
