Bridgeton may be Portland's best-kept secret. Live here.

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. Come experience Bridgeton Neighborhood.

A Message on the Oregon Solutions Project from Karen Kane | BNA Co-Chair 
For the last year and a half, I have been serving on an Oregon Solutions team of regional leaders which has been working to address the accreditation and certification of the Peninsula Drainage Districts 1 and 2 levees along the Columbia River. 

Since that time, the team has completed visual and geotechnical surveys of the levees, (Bridgeton Road, by the way, is in pretty good shape!) and has formed a Declaration of Cooperation outlining how the team will work together in the future. Much work has been completed, a significant amount of information has been gleaned, and the future has been laid out. 

On Friday, July 17, I signed the Declaration on behalf of the Bridgeton Neighborhood Association board of directors.
