The Character of Considered Permanence.

Eastmoreland was planned as a garden suburb and still feels like one: broad, curving, tree-canopied streets lined with large Tudor, Colonial Revival, and English-cottage homes on generous lots. It is one of the most architecturally consistent neighborhoods in Portland.

It draws buyers who want scale, gardens, and permanence — and who value the quiet that comes with being tucked between Reed College, the Rhododendron Garden, and a public golf course.

The Residential Fabric

Tudor & English Cottage

Steep rooflines, brick and stucco, leaded glass, and rich period detail from the 1920s–30s define the streetscape.

Colonial & Period Revivals

Large, formal homes on deep lots with mature gardens — built for permanence and rewarding careful stewardship.
