Crestwood
Southwest Portland, about 4.81 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.
Crestwood's homes have a median year built of 1976, newer than 85% of Portland neighborhoods, and they average 1,682 sq ft. I found tree canopy of 57.8%, more canopy than 85% of Portland neighborhoods, on terrain hillier than 90% of Portland neighborhoods, with elevation from 454–643 ft. In my notes, Ash Creek Natural Area and Dickinson Park are inside the neighborhood. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 7.9%, lower than 90% of Portland neighborhoods.
