Hazelwood

Northeast Portland, about 6.83 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

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

Transit stops within a quarter mile came to 256 in my count, more than 95% of Portland neighborhoods. I also found average lots of 8,622 sq ft, larger than 70% of Portland neighborhoods, and parks such as Cherry Blossom Park and David Douglas Community Garden. Tree canopy is 20.2%, less than 75% of neighborhoods, and I estimate sidewalk coverage at 54.2%.
