Jessica Ward Knows Outer NE Portland

Looking for a real estate agent in Outer NE Portland? Well then look no further! My name is Jessica Ward, and I’m proud to be a real estate agent specializing in the neighborhoods of Parkrose, Parkrose Heights, Argay Terrace, Maywood Park, Russell, Hazelwood, and Wilkes. Not only do I know these communities inside and out, but I also have firsthand experience living here for many years and having attended the local public school. My deep-rooted connections and local expertise make me uniquely qualified to help you navigate the real estate market in Outer NE Portland.


My First Transaction: Listing in Russell

One of my proudest moments of my career was my first-ever listing in the Russell neighborhood. With proper planning and preparation I was able to take that house from active to pending in 3 days. From that experience onward, I’ve been committed to offering the highest level of personalized service to my clients. Nothing compares to the excitement of representing a home in my community.


Local Knowledge You Can Trust

  • Parkrose High School Alumni: Having attended Parkrose School District, I share a special bond with the Parkrose neighborhood. I understand the sense of community and the unique character of each street.
  • Insider Tips: Because I’ve lived in and around these neighborhoods I can give you insider information like which local farms have the best produce, what spot on the Columbia river is best for a day at the beach, how to take a quick hike in the gorge and be back before lunch, best finds at the local Costco, how to use Ikea to make your house a home and so much more.
  • Community Involvement: Over the years, I have built relationships with local organizations and neighbors. Being actively involved in the community helps me stay updated on trends, upcoming developments, and potential property investments.

 


Historical Context & Home Styles

The neighborhoods in Outer NE Portland feature a range of home styles and ages, offering something for every taste:

  • Parkrose & Parkrose Heights: Developed primarily between the 1950s and 1970s, you’ll find an abundance of mid-century ranch homes along with some charming bungalows. Tree-lined streets and proximity to key highways make this area particularly appealing.

  • Argay Terrace: Built up in the 1960s and 1970s, Argay Terrace is known for larger lots and split-level homes that often showcase classic Pacific Northwest architecture. Many of the properties here are lovingly maintained and updated.

  • Maywood Park: Established in the mid-1930s, Maywood Park is famous for its tree-lined streets and historic charm. It was literally incorporated as its own “city within a city” to maintain a cohesive neighborhood feel. https://cityofmaywoodpark.com

  • Russell: Developed primarily in the late 20th century, Russell offers quiet suburban streets and diverse home styles—ranch, split-level, and traditional two-story homes—catering to different family sizes and budgets.

  • Hazelwood & Wilkes: These areas saw significant growth in the 1950s and 1960s, but also have pockets of newer construction. You’ll find an eclectic mix of housing types, from cozy ranches to modern townhomes.

This blend of historical charm, variety in architectural styles, and ongoing development makes Outer NE Portland a uniquely attractive region.

Three Fabulous Neighborhood Parks Along the I-205 Corridor

Neighborhood parks are like hidden treasures tucked away amidst our bustling communities. They can offer a tranquil retreat from the urban bustle, a vast runway for your dog to get her zoomies out, or an imaginative space for your little one to simply be a kid!

The quality of life in Portland wouldn’t be so high if it weren’t for the community’s dedication to its natural, open-air green spaces. Not only do we boast one of the largest urban forests in the US (Forest Park), but almost every home in this city is within walking distance of a neighborhood park. If you live in Portland, you can rest assured you won’t have to go far to find your local park. 

With two rambunctious kids to wrangle, I’ve visited my fair share of parks in this city. Let me tell you about three of my fave lesser-known parks in my local stomping grounds, just east of the I-205 corridor:

Ventura Park: a large newer play structure awaits the young ones with creative minds, with a sliding turf hill, a dirt bike track, and a water station. There’s a picnic area, and dogs are allowed on-leash. There’s also a big grassy area to set up a sports game or chill in the shade and have a picnic. Located in Hazelwood/Mill Park neighborhood, 460 SE 113th Ave, Portland OR 97216.

Gateway Discovery Park: A fab gathering place for groups large and small, this inclusive playground is accessible to children of all abilities. There’s a skate park, and a splash pad for those extra warm summer days. Dogs are allowed 0n-leash. Located in Hazelwood/Parkrose Heights neighborhood, 10520 NE Halsey St, Portland OR 97220.

 

Luuwit View Park: With a separate fenced off-leashed dog area, this park is a great place to ensure fun for the entire family – furry friends included! Theres an impressive amphitheater, a newer accessible play area with with soft rubber flooring, a big slide and climbing structure. There is also a picnic area, extensive bike and foot paths, and best of all an expansive view Mt. St Helens! Located in Argay Terrace neighborhood, NE 127th and NE Fremont, Portland OR 97230.

New York to New Home!

Relocating from the east coast is no easy task, but when you want to live near your daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter… the long haul is worth the journey. For our savvy buyer, an important piece of the purchasing puzzle was a really thorough home inspection. After we guided her through her due diligence and helped her investigate aspects of the home that were question marks, she knew she had a solid home that she could get cozy in fast. This home’s floor plan allows for her entrepreneurial spirit and love of art. Besides working from home, she’ll be able to host her family and provide a sweet space for her grand daughter when she visits. Another sale = another great success for our client!
