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

Cully's homes have a median year built of 1949, and in my notes the average size is 1,340 sq ft, smaller than 85% of Portland neighborhoods, on lots averaging 8,628 sq ft, larger than 70% of them. I counted 91 transit stops within a quarter mile. Tree canopy is 19.2%, less than 80% of neighborhoods have, and sidewalk coverage is an estimated 27.9%. Khunamokwst Park is one of the parks inside.
