The Neighborhood:

Welcome to the Boise neighborhood — a vibrant, walkable gem on Portland’s east side. Often referred to as “Boise-Eliot,” the area blends the best of two iconic streets: Mississippi Avenue and Williams Avenue. Each has its own unique rhythm, with Mississippi known for its historic charm and Williams for its sleek modern edge. Together, they form one of Portland’s most beloved neighborhoods.



This is a community that celebrates diversity, creativity, and local entrepreneurship. You’ll find a friendly mix of families, artists, young professionals, and long-time residents who proudly support the independent businesses that line every block.



Nearby, you’ll discover some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants — including Eem (Thai BBQ), La Cocina, Life of Pie, and Kayo’s Ramen — along with boutique coffee shops, vintage stores, yoga studios, barbershops, and hidden gems you’ll only find in Portland. Mississippi Avenue’s famed food cart pod, breweries, and music venues are just a short walk away.



Need groceries? New Seasons Market (Portland’s local answer to Whole Foods) is nearby on Williams Avenue. Whether you’re here for the food, the culture, or the people — this neighborhood is the perfect home base for your Portland adventure.



Getting Around:

🚶 Walking — Mississippi Avenue is one of Portland's liveliest strips, packed with restaurants, bars, music venues, and unique shops — all within walking distance.



🚌 Bus — TriMet Route 4 (Fessenden/Woodstock) runs along Williams and Vancouver avenues with frequent service to downtown.



🚲 Biking — BIKETOWN bike-share is another option; use the app for pickup locations. Portland's bike lane network offers routes around the city.



🚗 Driving — This home includes one assigned rear-lot space: the fourth gravel space from the left as you enter the lot from the alley (space 4 when counting from left to right). Additional vehicles must use legal street parking and follow posted signs.



✈️ Airport — PDX is reachable by car or transit. The MAX Yellow Line at Albina/Mississippi connects to downtown and other MAX lines; airport trips require a Red Line connection.



Other Things to Note:

♿ Entry: the apartment is at the garden level of a 5-unit building — one level down, with stairs and a sloped approach; no elevator. It may not suit guests with mobility limitations.



🔊 It's a lower-level home, so you may occasionally hear footsteps from neighbors above. Light sleepers may prefer white noise or earplugs.



🚗 Parking: This home includes one assigned space: the fourth gravel space from the left as you enter the rear lot from the alley (space 4 when counting from left to right). Additional vehicles must use legal street parking and follow posted signs.



🌤️ No private outdoor space.
