About Sunnyside
Steeped in history as Portland’s first streetcar suburb, Sunnyside offers a vibrant mix of the old and new. Iconic Belmont and Hawthorne districts keep the dream of the 90s alive with casual eateries, vintage shops, and retro arcades. Nature lovers rejoice with Mt. Tabor and Laurelhurst Park nearby, providing a tranquil escape from the urban energy.
Come December, witness the dazzling transformation of Peacock Lane, a must-see tradition for nearly a century. Residents deck their homes in elaborate lights, creating a winter wonderland.
Foodies will find a haven in Sunnyside. Grab a drink and capture an Instagram moment at the 70s-themed Sugar Hill on Belmont. Savor Thai comfort food at Khao Moo Dang on Hawthorne, then wind down at Bar Mame, a speakeasy-inspired bar known for its cocktails. Top off your adventure with a DIY pancake brunch at Slappy Cakes – a local favorite with a secret tip: skip the line and order anything from the bar menu, including pancakes!
Beyond the bustling districts, Sunnyside offers a laid-back vibe perfect for artists, families, and nature enthusiasts. Expect walkable streets, a mix of Victorian, Bungalow, and Foursquare housing styles with some modern builds, and all the amenities you need.
