Kenton is definitely evolving and ready to show the greater Portland area that it has a special uniqueness to it. Neighborhood locals are friendly, approachable and have a deep sense of community. Located in North Portland and bordered by Arbor Lodge, St. Johns, and Piedmont neighborhoods, Kenton is in close proximity to the Max light rail which is located on nearby Interstate Avenue, giving residents easy access to the rest of the city. Having said that, a drive to downtown Portland is only a mere 7-8 minutes away in good traffic conditions, and a bike ride is about 25 minutes away, and in mostly designated bike lanes.
Traveling through the commercial district of Kenton, you will see the beginnings of a revival, similar to what happened with Mississippi Avenue. New entrepreneurs came in and transformed the personality and culture of the neighborhood, as new commercial activity can often do. Now, Mississippi is a hip, thriving district. There is every reason to believe Kenton should be considered the new, hip place to live in the next few years for the same reasons.
