The Lents Neighborhood

Getting to Know SE Portland Neighborhoods

The Portland Metro area has five main quadrants:

• N Portland
• NW Portland
• NE Portland
• SW Portland
• SE Portland

The Lents Neighborhood was originally built in 1912 on the (then) outskirts of Portland.

Lents in SE Portland was originally platted as the Town of Lent by Oliver P. Lent (1830–1899) in 1892. The Lents neighborhoodis located approximately 6 miles from Downtown Portland in the SE area and is in the 97226 Zip Code.

In recent years, Portland has seen the potential value of the Lents neighborhood and established it as an Urban Renewal Area, which allows the city to bond on future increases in property tax revenues to fund capital projects throughout the Lents Town Center Urban Renewal Area. Many new homes and businesses have been established and more are planned. The MAX light rail system has been expanded southward from the Gateway hub, along I-205 to the Clackamas Town Center. ~~ Wikipedia.com
