Kerns puts you in the heart of Portland’s eastside, with tree-lined blocks, classic storefronts, and easy access to the city’s best dining. NE 28th Avenue hums with destination spots like the Cuban staple Pambiche and neighborhood favorite Migration Brewing, while Glisan, Sandy, and Burnside offer a steady mix of coffee bars, bakeries, and late-night bites. To the south and east, you’re minutes from Buckman and Laurelhurst, expanding your options for galleries, theaters, and weekly errands.
Green space is close at hand at Oregon Park, an accessible community hub with play areas, courts, and shady lawns perfect for picnics and dog walks. Families appreciate strong educational choices: the arts-forward da Vinci Arts Middle School sits within the neighborhood, and the renowned, STEM-focused Benson Polytechnic High School is nearby. Daily travel is straightforward—cyclists love the 20s Bikeway, and buses along Burnside, Sandy, and Glisan shorten commutes to downtown and across the eastside. Community ties run deep here, thanks to the active Kerns Neighborhood Association, which champions livability, local businesses, and thoughtful growth.
Housing ranges from century-old Craftsman homes to tidy courtyard apartments and contemporary infill, offering options for first-time buyers and long-time Portlanders alike. Whether you’re putting down roots or planning your next chapter, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent who knows Kerns inside and out—helping both buyers and sellers move with confidence.
