Status: In development.
A planning group of Eastside residents have enthusiastically taken on the task of creating the first aging-in-place “village” in the Portland metro area.
Eastside Village, PDX will include all or part of 13 Portland neighborhoods: Buckman, Kerns, Laurelhurst, Sunnyside, North Tabor, Montavilla, Hazelwood (part), Hosford-Abernathy, Richmond, Mt Tabor, Mill Park, South Tabor, and Powellhurst-Gilbert (small part).
The working boundaries of Eastside Village, PDX are:
- Powell Blvd on the south;
- the Willamette River on the west;
- I-84/Banfield or Halsey (east of I-205) on the north;
- 122nd on the east (except between Stark and Division where the boundary extends out to 130th to include all of the Mill Park neighborhood).
The purpose of the Eastside Village, PDX will be to assist older adults and people with disabilities living within the village boundaries to age at home and in community safely, economically, happily and healthily for as long as they choose.
For all the details on Eastside Village, PDX—including how you can get involved—please visit the new Eastside Village website at www.EastsideVillage.org.
