The Pearl District

Welcome to the Pearl District. In the last two decades the Pearl District has evolved from abandoned warehouses, long-forgotten industrial sites and a former rail yard to become one of Portland's most fashionable residential neighborhoods. In doing so it has achieved national status as one of the country's most forward thinking urban renaissance endeavors.

The Pearl has a broad appeal to urban professionals, young families, empty nesters and those seeking a lifestyle with easy access to parks, schools, fine dining, culture, galleries, boutiques, national brand stores and of course the world famous Powell's City of Books. Those who live in the Pearl define it as a wonderful mixture of urban sophistication with the charm of a small town.
