Eastmoreland, SE

Eastmoreland is so large and so beautiful, that it took me three visits (some ending in the darkness of night) and I didn't even dare to photograph all of the beautiful homes. In fact, I took less pictures and enjoyed my walk more because every house is so fantastic, there's no point in shooting them all. You just need to visit for yourself.

Eastmoreland is a community platted in the 20's, directly south of Reed College - since 1911 a liberal arts college with an illustrious reputation for it's rather liberal (Communist) approach , and just east of the Eastmoreland Golf Club (1916), and just West of Cesar Chavez or 39th.

The tracts are Eastmoreland, and Berkeley (smaller and quainter homes on the eastern edge of Eastmoreland. The three month sales prices run from $250K (Berkeley) to 1.1 million (EastMoreland).  Stylistically the houses run the gamut from English Tudor, Mediterranean,  Streamline Moderne, late Arts & Crafts, Dutch Colonial, French Provincial, Cape Cod, Late 40's Mid-century traditional, and 60's Mid-century Modern (infill) - You name it! The houses are the top of the line, many true to original design or remodels following tradition, all very well maintained and this is undeniably one of the nicest, most expensive neighborhoods in Portland. The streets are tree lined and winding, with that 'back east' feel of upper-middle class prestige.
