Beaumont-Wilshire

Northeast Portland, about 3.72 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

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

Lots average 5,747 sq ft here, and tree canopy covers 25.8% of the neighborhood, which is a plain trade-off I noted early in my research. What I liked in the records is the sidewalk coverage, estimated at 83.6% and higher than 90% of Portland neighborhoods. In the city's historic survey, which recorded only some homes, Tudor accounts for 26% and English Cottage for 24%. Wilshire Park sits inside the boundaries.

I marked Beaumont-Wilshire on a map of Portland drawn from the neighborhood boundaries the city publishes. Downtown is marked for reference.
