Eastmoreland

Southeast Portland, about 3.71 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

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

Average home size in Eastmoreland is 2,513 sq ft, larger than in 90% of Portland neighborhoods. In my records, 41.9% tree canopy puts it above 75% of the city, and the median home dates to 1932. The city's historic survey, which covered only some homes, recorded Twentieth Century Colonial at 35% and Bungalow at 18%. I also noted that average block length is 388 ft, and transit stops within a quarter mile number 57.
