Alameda
Northeast Portland, about 3.2 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.
Among the 86 other Portland neighborhoods I compared, Alameda ranks above 80% for average home size, at 2,204 sq ft, and for intersections per square mile, at 250. Sidewalk coverage is estimated at 84%, higher than 90% of the city. In the historic resource survey, which recorded only some homes, Tudor made up 21% and English Cottage 20%. Transit stops within a quarter mile are 56, fewer than 85% of the city.
