Description

The small community of Linnton is located in Northwest Portland along a stretch of the Willamette River. With it's early roots as a former logging town and it's prime waterfront acreage, the neighborhood is struggling with the City of Portland over future Linnton waterfront development--either more industrial or residential/industrial mix. It's not clear yet who will win out, the residents or the City of Portland, but one thing is clear--Linnton has a strong sense of identity and community pride.

Homes

Linnton homes are perched up on the hill with a panoramic view of the river. The streets are steep and winding, with homes tucked in the trees, and this makes the neighborhood feel private and quiet. A recent RMLS home search in the Linnton area showed homes from sale from as low as $240,000 up to $3,500,000.
