Hi. I’m the cute little bungalow on a quiet SE Portland street; the one with the covered front porch and the fenced yard that says, “Yes, you absolutely should sit here with coffee.” I may be cozy at 576 square feet, but I make every inch count.
Step inside and you’ll find my original wood floors and built-ins still holding court in the living room. I’ve kept my character, but I’m not stuck in the past. My kitchen shows off quartz countertops, laminate flooring, freestanding appliances, and a built-in dishwasher and microwave, because charm and convenience get along just fine here.
Out back, I really shine. My full 50x100 lot gives you a bright, generously sized backyard with fantastic light. Gardeners, dog owners, and backyard dreamers, this is your moment. I’ve also had some thoughtful updates: double-pane vinyl windows, updated PVC drain lines, a tankless water heater, and a heat pump with mini-split system to keep things comfortable year-round. I even earned a 9/10 Home Energy Score. Not to brag, but… I’m efficient.
With low 2025 property taxes of $2,868.57, I’m a small-but-mighty slice of SE Portland ready for my next chapter. Cozy? Yes. Full of personality? Absolutely. Waiting for you? I thought you’d never ask.
Nestled in the southeast quadrant of Portland, just six miles from downtown, the Lents neighborhood presents a compelling blend of accessibility and emerging appeal. Bordered roughly by SE Powell Blvd. to the north, SE 82nd Ave. to the west, and extending toward the city’s edge, Lents is one of Portland’s larger and more diverse neighborhoods. Once established as a separate town in 1892 and annexed into the city in 1912, it has transformed through decades of change. lentshistory.com+1
For homebuyers and renters, the appeal of Lents lies in its truly mixed housing stock and strong value. From early-20th-century bungalows and craftsman homes to recently constructed infill, Lents offers a variety of styles and lot sizes. Real-estate guides note the neighborhood as “on the rise,” thanks to urban-renewal efforts and good transportation access via the MAX Green Line and major arterials like I-205. Parks like Lents Park and the multi-use trails around the neighborhood enhance the livability for families and active residents.
Community engagement is alive and well in Lents. The Lents Neighborhood Livability Association (LNLA) is an active nonprofit of local residents dedicated to improving neighborhood livability through monthly meetings, clean-ups, and advocacy projects. You can find more about them at https://www.lentsneighborhoodlivabilityassociation.org. This level of civic involvement, combined with the neighborhood’s affordability and emerging amenities, makes Lents a particularly compelling choice for buyers seeking value and community in Portland’s dynamic east side.
