If you’re curious about Alberta Arts District Real Estate or Homes for sale in the Alberta Arts area, you’ve come to the right place.
Alberta by name, is not technically recognized as a standalone neighborhood, but has risen in popularity. This neighborhood is plain old funky and fun. Many homes express a distinctive and artistic flair that suits the neighborhood’s nickname, The Alberta Arts District. The people prize their individuality, and you’ll find a multi-cultural demographics mix of locals and visitors.
Alberta Street, is the main drag. It has many newly renovated retail storefronts and restaurant space. These are mixed in with older businesses that have been there forever, and there is a contrast in the old meets new. The shopping area is considered trendy but with a local flair that is unique to the area. There are handmade local designers, paper mache’ lamps, imported gifts from afar, and the Alberta art galleries and shops showcase some fine local work. Throughout are the essential Portland coffee houses, seemingly one for each subculture, but you won’t find a Starbucks on Alberta, though, as it just wouldn’t seem to fit into the quirky individuality of the place.
And lets not forget Last Thursday, where thousands come once a month to view the art, the spectacle, the beauty of a popular street fair that has grown so large they block off the street so visitors can walk freely among the crowd. The best part is how quirky but grounded the neighborhood is. You will typically find modest homes with older East Portland architectural styles such as Craftsman style bungalow, cottages, Old Portland foursquare style, and other mid-sized, one and two story homes. The neighborhood has a lot of unique charm.
