Laurelhurst is lovely. It’s really central to all of Portland and east to get to downtown. It’s bikeable to everywhere, walkable, has a cultural identity that includes diversity, is full of nice people, rich with nature, and is very charming. I love living here! Best neighborhood in PDX, hands down.
Laurelhurst is a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood; the houses are gorgeous and there are trees everywhere. The school has a good reputation, but when I went there I didn't love it, and my family has had negative experiences with other families in Laurelhurst, namely some adults looking down on us because we aren't rich and beautiful. Overall there are some bad people, but also a lot of great ones, and the appearance of the neighbohood is hard to beat.
Nice houses but many condos and new apartments are going up in the spaces that use to be businesses. Traffic is getting bad but in my area there is low crime rates, good schools, nice surrounding such as sidewalks and greenery is in good condition. There are many sidewalks, crosswalks and it is easy to get anywhere because of public transportation. The area is becoming very trendy and more expensive to move into.
