23rd. Northwest. Nob Hill. By any name, this is Portland's history, the very definition of community living, folded between the glass and concrete spires of the posh Pearl District, the highrises of Downtown, and the towering firs and winding paths of 5,000-acre Forest Park.

Everything you could want is right here within reach: from the five-star dining at Paley’s Place and New York-style sandwiches at Kornblatt's to sumptuous desserts at Papa Hadyn's and rich truffles at Moonstruck Chocolate Company. After a short trip to Powell's Books, an afternoon at Dosha Salon Spa is the perfect way to wind down.

The rest of Portland is a quick jump away. Hop the Portland streetcar for access to downtown. Or just drive—this is, after all, one of the only condominium units in NW with full-size garages, so parking is never an issue. Any day of the week, you can perch yourself at an outdoor table at any of 23rd's dozens of coffee purveyors, watch the people stroll by or wave to a neighbor walking her dog.

This is what neighborhood means.
