Hollywood balances classic Portland character with everyday convenience. Centered on the marquee glow of the restored Hollywood Theatre, the district hums with independent cafes, casual eateries, and small retailers along Sandy Boulevard. On Saturdays, neighbors stock up at the community-run Hollywood Farmers Market, known for seasonal produce, flowers, and live music. Commuters appreciate the Hollywood/NE 42nd Ave Transit Center, where MAX light-rail and bus lines put downtown, the airport, and the rest of the eastside within easy reach.
Families value the strong education options. The beautifully modernized Grant High School serves the area, with its celebrated athletics, arts, and academics, while Beverly Cleary School supports K–8 learners across multiple campuses. Study sessions and story times are close by at the welcoming Hollywood Library, a Multnomah County Library branch that anchors the neighborhood’s intellectual life.
Green space is woven into daily routines. Dog walks and soccer practices spill across the fields at Normandale Park, while nearby Grant Park offers a pool, playgrounds, and the much-loved Beverly Cleary sculptures tucked among old-growth trees. With bike-friendly streets, a quick trip to the freeway, and a calendar full of community events, Hollywood feels both connected and comfortably self-contained.
