Bridlemile

Southwest Portland, about 2.78 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

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

Average lots in Bridlemile run 13,007 sq ft, larger than 90% of Portland neighborhoods. In my notes, that sits alongside homes averaging 2,407 sq ft and a median build year of 1966, newer than 80% of the city. I also found tree canopy at 48.1%, and Albert Kelly Park, Fanno Creek Natural Area and Hamilton Park fall inside the boundaries. The trade-off is sidewalk coverage, estimated at 6.6%.
