Arlington Heights
Perched above Portland in the West Hills, Arlington Heights rewards daily life with skyline views, winding streets, and a peaceful, close-to-everything feel. The neighborhood sits beside cultural gems and forested escapes, with quick connections to Sylvan-Highlands, Goose Hollow, and the shopping and dining pulse of Northwest District.
At its heart is legendary Washington Park, home to a constellation of destinations. Spend a morning at the meticulously crafted Portland Japanese Garden, wander the roses at the International Rose Test Garden, then catch an afternoon program at the Oregon Zoo. Tree lovers explore living collections at Hoyt Arboretum, while trail runners and hikers link neighborhoods via the Wildwood Trail. For broader orientation, the Washington Park site keeps tabs on gardens, museums, and seasonal events, and the hilltop Pittock Mansion nearby delivers a panoramic history lesson.
Families appreciate strong public school options, with many homes feeding to Ainsworth Elementary’s dual-language program, West Sylvan Middle, and Lincoln High. Housing ranges from classic mid-century designs to architect-led view homes, often with terraced gardens that make the most of the slope. Despite the quiet streets, daily convenience is close: the Washington Park MAX Station speeds trips downtown, and NW 23rd Avenue’s boutiques and eateries are a short drive away.
