Corbett-Terwilliger-Lair Hill pairs historic character with everyday convenience, stretching from the Willamette waterfront toward the forested slopes of the West Hills. Classic Victorians and carefully restored cottages line quiet streets, while new townhomes and apartments offer low-maintenance living close to Portland employment hubs. Residents relish being moments from South Waterfront and cultural attractions in Downtown, yet steps from leafy trails and pocket parks.
Weekend routines often start along the scenic curves of Terwilliger Parkway, perfect for a run, bike, or stroller. Lair Hill Park provides playgrounds and open lawns, Duniway Park’s track draws athletes of all levels, and the Gibbs pedestrian bridge links the neighborhood to the river. Commuting is easy: the OHSU Aerial Tram whisks riders up Marquam Hill, and the Portland Streetcar offers a stress-free loop through South Waterfront and downtown. Dining ranges from beloved cafes to global fare, with additional options just up the hill in Hillsdale.
Families are served by Portland Public Schools, with nearby options that include Ainsworth Elementary; many students continue to Robert Gray Middle School and Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School. The International School of Portland and small childcare centers add choice for early learners, and professionals appreciate proximity to major hospitals and universities.
