Bridgeton may be Portland's
best-kept secret
Welcome to the Water!
Welcome to Bridgeton! Dating to the early 1900s, Bridgeton was once a thriving fishing and farming community. The Bridgeton neighborhood of today continues to be a unique and viable assortment of floating homes, condos, historic homes, and businesses.
Positioned upon the levee of the North Portland Harbor channel, in Portland, Oregon, Bridgeton feels like a removed beach village well within Portland city limits. The smallest of all Portland neighborhoods, with under 1,000 residents, Bridgeton may be Portland's best-kept secret. We welcome you to our friendly community, where neighbors wave to each other, and friends are made easily.

Bridgeton Neighborhood Association acknowledges that we live, work and relax in a place called Portland, Oregon, which rests on traditional village sites of the Cowlitz, Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River. We want to express gratitude to the original caretakers of this land who were displaced by white colonizers, and to those who still reside on it.
