Brentwood-Darlington

Southeast Portland, about 5.08 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

Errol Heights Park is one of the places inside Brentwood-Darlington, a Southeast Portland neighborhood of 1,105 acres about 5.08 miles from downtown. In my research, the homes stood out: average size is 1,255 sq ft, smaller than 95% of Portland neighborhoods, on lots averaging 6,366 sq ft. I also found 114 transit stops within a quarter mile, more than 70% of the city's neighborhoods. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 26.1%, lower than 75% of them.
