Centennial pairs everyday convenience with a quieter, residential feel on the east side of Gresham, just steps from the boundary with Portland. Tree-lined streets, mid-century homes, and ongoing reinvestment give the area a grounded, lived-in character, while the adjacent Rockwood neighborhood and Downtown Gresham add even more dining, services, and cultural options within minutes.
Nature lovers appreciate being close to the vast meadows and summit views at Powell Butte Nature Park, with miles of multiuse trails managed by Portland Parks & Recreation. Daily errands stay simple along the Division and Powell corridors, and commuting is straightforward thanks to TriMet service, including the FX2-Division line connecting Centennial to major job centers in both Gresham and Portland.
Families will find strong public school options in the Centennial School District, including Centennial High School and a network of elementary and middle schools with robust arts, athletics, and career technical programs. For higher education and workforce training, Mt. Hood Community College is a short drive away, offering extensive degree pathways, community classes, and well-regarded trades programs.
From summer picnics and pickup games to Saturday coffee runs and evening concerts nearby, daily life here feels accessible and well-connected.
