Hillside
Northwest Portland, about 2.29 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.
Homes in Hillside average 3,249 sq ft, larger than in 95% of Portland neighborhoods, and the lots run to 12,765 sq ft, larger than 90%. In my records, tree canopy reaches 65.9%, more than 90% of the city's neighborhoods, and Hillside Park and Pittock Acres Park sit inside the boundaries. The trade-off I noted is sidewalk coverage, estimated at 29.8%, with blocks averaging 383 ft.

I pulled these from OpenStreetMap: the nearest named restaurants and cafes, starting inside the neighborhood and measured from its edge. Places marked Patio have outdoor seating, from my research for Outdoor Seating Near Me, my other site; the photos come from that research too.
