REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE HEART OF KENTON – RM3 ZONING In the vibrant core of Portland’s beloved Kenton neighborhood, just a short stroll from the iconic Paul Bunyan statue, this 5,000 sq ft rectangular and leveled lot offers a rare chance to build something bold in one of the city’s most walkable, community-rich areas. Surrounded by local cafés, restaurants, bakeries, and shops—and just one block from the Kenton MAX station—this location is as connected as it is charming. The existing home, a classic early-Portland residence, holds vintage character and fixer potential, but the real opportunity lies in what’s next. RM3 zoning supports medium-density, multi-dwelling development in transit-rich areas—perfect for boutique infill or small-scale urban housing with strong street presence. Whether you’re a builder, developer, or homeowner with vision, this is your invitation to shape the future of Kenton while enjoying everything the neighborhood has to offer—from morning coffee to sunset walks, and a giant lumberjack cheering you on. Priced to sell and offered "As-Is." Let’s bring something new to a neighborhood that's always stood tall. --Walk Score 83 & Bike Score 99.
