Ladd's Addition Portland Real Estate
Ladd’s Addition smashes the street grid of Southeast Portland with a series of diagonal streets and circles that slice the neighborhood into a group of circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and diamonds. This neighborhood has five rose gardens. A large one is in the central circle, with four smaller, diamond-shaped gardens. The confusing street layout ensures that few drivers try to take short cuts through the neighborhood. The story behind the neighborhood’s unusual geometry is that the developer, William S. Ladd sought to emulate Pierre L’Enfant’s design for Washington, D.C., on a small scale. Ladd’s Addition was platted in 1891, but due to an economic downturn no homes were built until 1905.
