Collins View

South Portland, about 4.07 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

Sidewalk coverage of 7.8% (estimated) is lower than 95% of Portland neighborhoods, the widest gap I found in my notes on Collins View. Against that, tree canopy reaches 62.6%, more than 90% of Portland neighborhoods, and the average lot is 13,586 sq ft, also larger than 90% of them. I also noted Powers Marine Park and River View Natural Area inside the boundaries, plus 86 transit stops within a quarter mile.
