Discover Our Neighborhood
Eat, Shop & Enjoybulate *
Located just three miles south of downtown Portland and over the Sellwood Bridge, the Sellwood-Westmoreland neighborhoods are brimming with unique shops, delicious dining and fabulous adventures.
Approximately two miles in length and a mile wide, the teardrop-shaped area is rich in natural and recreational amenities. We have four public parks (Westmoreland, Sellwood, Sellwood Riverfront & Johnson Creek), hiking paths (Oaks Bottom Refuge), a public golf course, a bicycle/pedestrian only thoroughfare (the Springwater Corridor) and the city's second oldest Parks & Recreations center.
With a wide variety of shopping and many dining choices, our two historic neighborhoods dating from 1876, make it easy to enjoy everything that Sellwood-Westmoreland has to offer. Come Enjoybulate!

Neighborhood Memories?
Old Photos
What fun it is to look at old photos of the neighborhoods and see what things looked like 40, 50 or even 60 years ago. Check out the photos of McLoughlin Blvd in the early days, Westmoreland pond, one of the trolleys that plied the streets of the neighborhoods and even the local ice cream shop. Long gone but for the memories of these photos.
