One of the more popular community events is the Sabin Tree Walk. We love our trees in Portland and here you will get the history of some of Sabin’s larger and well established trees. Sabin residents appear to love being close to downtown, but welcome the quiet, suburban lifestyle Sabin has to offer.

Homes in Sabin are old and beautiful. Most homes date to the first few decades of the twentieth century, with only a little newer construction mixed in, along with a couple of duplexes and townhouses. The nicest homes tend to be in the Southeast section of the neighborhood (roughly the parts south of Prescott and east of 15th) though overall Sabin is considered a very upscale neighborhood.

These elegant homes feel comfortable and livable. Sabin residents take pride in their community and seem to be very eco-conscious. There's even a neighborhood Tree Walk you can follow to check out the beautiful trees that grow here.
