Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in the Overlook neighborhood, close to the Adidas HQ Office, the Max light rail train. Walkable to portland food carts, wine tasting rooms, restaurants and bars.
Local businesses thrive here – a few standouts are the wacky and ever-popular Alibi bar, Fire on the Mountain, and the Historic Overlook House. Locals shop at New Seasons Market and Fred Meyer and also enjoy the retail and restaurant offerings in the nearby Kenton, St Johns, and Mississippi Ave neighborhoods.
While it feels less urban than its neighbors, Overlook offers very “bikable” access to downtown Portland, great mass transit options via light rail and bus, and is about a 5-minute drive to downtown Portland. If you prefer walking, be sure to wear your Adidas running shoes. Don’t have any? The Adidas North American headquarters are right here in Overlook, and the flagship store is inside the Montgomery Park Building-you need a guest pass to get in. Shoe fans love PDX because we have the two biggest shoemakers (NIKE) in the world, just a few miles away from each other.
Portland, OR has the Williamsburg, NY vibe with coffee shops, bars, beer tasting rooms, breweries, restaurants, bike lanes. See more here https://www.travelportland.com
