Cathedral Park is located in North Portland right next to the St Johns Bridge. As you drive into the area notice that the bridge has cathedral style architecture, one of Portland’s coolest!  A quaint neighborhood community named after the park itself, a perfect waterfront location.  Access to the Willamette river and Saint John’s area can be quite attractive, especially if you’re a budget conscious home buyer.  Tax abatements and urban renewal projects spurred growth in recent years for this area of St. John’s. A constantly improving location.  More on Portland real estate and Portland neighborhoods…
