"Historic, Upscale Neighborhood, Beautiful Homes"
Rose City Park, is best known for being the home of the famous, surprise (!), Portland landmark, Rose City Park. This beautiful green space gave Portland’s its nickname, “City of Roses,” and is the pride of the city. Us Portlanders celebrate anything that pertains to a rose.
If you have money to spend and enjoy living in a historic community, this might be your place. Beautiful, historic homes can be found here and the neighborhoods are very well kept and tidy. You won't find any undesirable streets. In fact, in 2008 Forbes Magazine named Rose City Park one of the most overpriced neighborhoods in the country but also wrote it was one of the most livable.
Public transportation is accessible here and can take you downtown in minutes. If you want to shop locally, you can find several nice shops, however, you are also close to Beaumont and Hollywood where you can find greater variety.
Other than Rose City Park, you will also find Frazer Park with lots of green space and sports courts, picnic areas and playground. Last I heard they were building a Community Garden here as well.

"Beautiful Residential Neighborhood And Amazing Rose Park"
Rose City Park is a turn-of-the-century neighborhood and park in Northeast Portland. Many of the original homes are still standing, and nearly all of the houses here were built in the 1930s or earlier; there's been almost no new development in Rose City Park since the 1970s. What this means is beautiful, historic homes along streets lined with old growth trees.
This neighborhood is best known as the home of Rose City Park. This expansive park helped earn Portland its nickname 'City of Roses.' It is simply amazing! There are a number of other parks in Rose City, in addition to the western edge of the Rose City Golf Course.
The businesses are nearly all located along Sandy Boulevard, which cuts through this neighborhood diagonally. Sandy Boulevard is also home to a large statue of George Washington.
Typical residents of Rose City Park are professional couples in their 30s or 40s with kids. They tend to be a little more affluent than average Portlanders, but not hugely so, though many do send their kids to private schools. Rose City Park has long been known as an overpriced neighborhood, though in recent years real estate prices here have dropped dramatically, making it much more affordable to move here.

"HIstorical Landmarks and Convenience"
Rose City Park is a NE Portland area that is near Beaumont-Wilshire and Hollywood. This means that this neighborhood is quite convenient and near a great deal of shopping, businesses and restaurants. It is also quite accessible to route 84 so one can easily get on and off the highway. Rose City Park is also conveniently located to the MAX light rail on the NE 60th station. There are a variety of types of homes and many can be purchased for a reasonable price.
Golfers will be happy to learn that Rose City Park includes the Rose City Golf Course, which was built in 1923. As a result, this is one of the oldest courses in Portland. Various tournaments take place throughout the year.
Another interesting spot in this neighborhood is Roseway Theatre. This is an beautiful old theater that has been rehabbed. It is a fun place to see a film and shows are only $6. The Roseway is much more lavish than many cheap movie theatres in Portland.
This part of town got its name because the first year of the Portland Rose Festival took place in Rose City Park back in 1907.
