2031 SE 90th, Gresham, OR 97216

"It’s a multigenerational neighborhood that is great for parks but not great with easily walkable cultural and social events. "

"Very dog friendly. Lots of respectful dog owners walk their dogs and pick up after their dogs. Dogs stay on leashes and are mindful of barking. "

"Some people who are parents love it, some can’t stand it. It’s a diverse community (as Portland goes) and has all kinds of people in the hood. The schools can be good if you take the right attitude, some people move out because of the schools. Who can say? "

"everywhere in this hood theyre welcome. and the dog school down the street is fun for our furry friends. "

"I lived here from 2006 to 2008, at the dawn of this neighborhood's renewal. I loved the laid-back atmosphere in the neighborhood: lots of homeowners and friendly people out and about. Every year I come home to Portland to visit family, and I am amazed at how much Montavilla has grown up! There are great restaurants, coffee shops and locally owned boutiques. The Academy Theater is absolutely wonderful (great movies, vintage charm plus pizza and beer!), as is the delicious pie and coffee at Bi Partisan cafe. Mt. Tabor Park is right out the back door, so dog owners, trail runners, tennis players or picnickers all have really great green spaces to do their outdoorsy things. Plus, Montavilla is still less expensive than the Hawthorne/Belmont areas of SE, yet only about 10 minutes drive or 15 minutes by bicycle to all of the greatness in those more trendy neighborhoods. Montavilla is basically awesome. "
