The Wilkes neighborhood in Northeast Portland is our next highlight. Central to Wilkes is Summerplace, a 55+ community that encompasses most of the area between NE Halsey and I-84 and between 148th to 162nd Avenues. Many of the homes in Summerplace are 2 bd + 2 ba SFR houses built in the 80s – 90s which include the use of the clubhouse with library, fitness center and pool as part of the HOA.
North of I-84 to Sandy Blvd., you have condominiums mixed with residential houses built from the 1970s – 2000s. If you prefer a 50s ranch you are also in luck as the Wilkes neighborhood has some superb examples of Mid-Century Modern design between NE Halsey and NE Glisan adjacent to Glendoveer golf course.

Wilkes is the Northeastern most neighborhood of Portland Oregon. Located between the Columbia River on the North, Glisan St. to the South, generally 148th on the West and the zig zagging East boundary mainly along 162nd Ave., Wilkes is the border with the City of Gresham.
