Mayfair Apartments (Mayf01)

Portland’s Northwest neighborhood sits west of the Willamette River, between downtown and the West Hills, with rainy winters, dry summers, and streets that climb toward wooded slopes. Historic Northwest 23rd Avenue and Northwest 21st Avenue bring cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and everyday shops to a walkable commercial core. Forest Park offers extensive trails and green space nearby, while smaller neighborhood parks provide outdoor respites; the area also has access to libraries and playgrounds. Streetcar and bus routes connect Northwest with downtown and other parts of Portland, and cycling is a practical option on many local streets. The neighborhood’s older buildings and preserved architecture reflect Portland’s growth around the turn of the 20th century. For the Northwest neighborhood, the median rent is $1,430 per month, with a typical range of $600 to $11,250.
