Woodlawn Conservation District
A storied pocket of Portland, Woodlawn Conservation District blends early-1900s craftsmanship with an urban rhythm all its own. The diagonal street grid converges around leafy Woodlawn Park, where playgrounds, courts, and broad lawns set a relaxed tone. Along NE Dekum Street, historic buildings house destination spots like Breakside Brewery and the beloved Firehouse Restaurant, lending the neighborhood a convivial hub for weekend brunches, date nights, and impromptu meetups.
Residents value the area’s conservation protections, which encourage thoughtful updates while preserving classic bungalows and foursquares. Daily life is straightforward: buses and bike-friendly routes connect to jobs and culture across the city via TriMet, and the walkable triangle around Dekum makes errands and coffee runs pleasantly quick. Families appreciate access to neighborhood schools within Portland Public Schools, including Woodlawn Elementary, with Ockley Green Middle School and Jefferson High School serving older students.
On a given evening, it’s easy to catch a pickup game at the park, sample a seasonal tap, or explore nearby creative corridors in the Alberta Arts District and tree-lined streets of Concordia. Whether you’re drawn by architectural character, a strong sense of place, or convenient city access, Woodlawn offers a welcoming base camp for your next chapter.
