Division Clinton Neighborhood

Division/Clinton is a new neighborhood that is technically part of Hosford/Abernathy It has gotten very popular since 2018 and Division is actually called “eat street” because of all the restaurants they have added recently. It is such a fun place to gather with friends. Some of my favorite spots are: 

https://www.bollywoodtheaterpdx.com for authentic Indian, Eb & Bean 

http://www.ebandbean.com for vegan frozen yogurt and Nuestra Cocina 

http://nuestracocina.com for Mexican.

The Clinton neighborhood, which is centered around the little Clinton business district at SE Clinton and 26th. This is one of the most popular areas in Portland because of the wonderful restaurants, cafes, unique shops, and even a theater. It flows out onto the Division area, which has a New Seasons, and new restaurants opening all the time. There are also lots of shops and cafes along Division and also along Hawthorne as you go east; and a New Seasons on Division and 20th Ave and a People’s Coop natural food market on SE 21st Ave.

Ladds Addition Rose Gardens are in Hosford Abernathy, and the area isn’t really a park, but the circles of roses and other flowers are beautiful, and it’s fun to either walk through there, or ride your bike around the area, and enjoy the beauty!
Clinton Community Garden is a small community garden area with a 75 year old fig tree. It was a residential lot that the neighborhood turned into a community garden in 1994.
