About
Wilkes (PDF map), located on Portland’s northeast corner, offers a great selection of new construction and charming older homes in a neighborhood with room to appreciate. Within a short drive from Wilkes, one can easily be surrounded by the grandeur and serenity of the Columbia River Gorge, a world-class outdoor activities area. Neighboring Troutdale, OR offers the cheapest gas in the metro area, an outlet mall and a vast McMenamin’s dining and entertainment complex (The Edgefield, 2126 SW Halsey St., Troutdale, OR). Quick access to Interstates 84 and 205 mean that one can be anywhere in Portland within a matter of minutes. Wilkes is one of the best situated of the outer Eastside neighborhoods and, like the rest, offers a great value.
