About the Neighborhood

As with other southeast Portland neighborhoods, Brooklyn has a mix of everything. The residential portion is mostly in the northern section, complete with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. Once you get further south, however, the neighborhood becomes more industrial. Tri-Met, the local transit authority, is stationed in Brooklyn, as are several industrial trainyards. Brooklyn is also home to one of the oldest train roundhouses on the west coast – a source of pride for the local historical society.

When it comes to places to visit, Brooklyn has a wide variety of options.

More details

Brooklyn is in a great location as it is in close proximity to some of Portland’s most hip and popular neighborhoods such as Sellwood, Hawthorne and Clinton. Residents have plenty of coffee, pub and dining options just a stone’s throw away in most cases across several adjoining neighborhoods.

Brooklyn is definitely a favorite and in-demand Portland neighborhood and feels very community-friendly, safe and family-focused. Dog walkers, runners, babes in strollers and people of all sorts busy the streets. Brooklyn, like most of its close-by sister neighborhoods, is fiercely independent and has a high number of locally owned businesses that thrive due to overwhelming local support.

One of the most notable natural features of the Brooklyn neighborhood is Ross Island. The island isn’t open to the public, as it’s used as both a nature reserve and a resource for the Ross Island Sand and Gravel Co. The shape of the island is incredible, as it looks more like an atoll, curving around the sides with an inlet in the middle.

Fortunately, Brooklyn residents have access to several parks within the neighborhood’s borders. One of the biggest is Powell Park, which sits adjacent to Cleveland High School. The park is used for picnics, sports games, and hiking.
