Eastmoreland and Westmoreland are two adjacent Southeast Portland neighborhoods. Eastmoreland, known for its curving streets and early 20th-century homes, is bordered by Reed College to the north, SE 39th Avenue to the east, SE Tacoma Street to the south, and SE McLoughlin Boulevard to the west. Westmoreland, just to the west along the Willamette River, offers a mix of shops, restaurants, and parks.
Eastmoreland was platted in 1910 by the Ladd Estate Company, with John Charles Olmsted consulted on the street layout. Its building boom ran from the late 1920s through the 1940s, and the dominant architectural styles are period revivals: Tudor Revival, English Cottage, French, Dutch and Mediterranean, plus Craftsman bungalows. Homes sit on spacious lots. The Eastmoreland Neighborhood Association actively works on land-use questions and the area’s tree canopy.
Westmoreland, often paired with Eastmoreland, has a more urban feel with a mix of historic homes, small apartment buildings, and local businesses. Unlike Eastmoreland’s curving residential streets, Westmoreland follows a grid layout. Home styles here reflect the broader Eastside Portland aesthetic, with Craftsman bungalows, cottages, and mid-century designs.

The Eastmoreland and Reed polygons share Southeast Portland residential character but sit at different price tiers. Eastmoreland proper reads as the upper tier, with the Period Revival stock, larger lots, and proximity to the Eastmoreland Golf Course. The Reed polygon (the residential pocket bordering the college) generally trades below Eastmoreland for a similar property type. Compare polygon rows above by property type; the condo and 2-4 unit rows are thin samples where a single closing can shift a median.
Eastmoreland is one of Portland’s most cohesive planned residential districts and one of the tightest for turnover; expect to wait for the right house. Buyers wanting the same era of home at meaningfully lower price points should look at Woodstock or Sellwood. Buyers who want inner Southeast amenities without the Eastmoreland premium should look at Westmoreland.
Eastmoreland is almost entirely zoned residential, with no commercial main street inside its boundaries. What it does have is the Reed College campus on its northern edge, the Eastmoreland Golf Course wrapping the west and south, Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, Berkeley Park, and Duniway Elementary. For groceries, dining and shopping, residents cross into Woodstock, Sellwood, or Westmoreland.
Westmoreland is the more commercial of the two, with SE Milwaukie Avenue as its main street. Some long-standing neighborhood favorites include:
