Laurelhurst Homes
Laurelhurst was a 462-acre orchard for a time, and then a ranch. The land was sold to the Laurelhurst Company in 1909 for $2 million, the largest sale of land in Portland’s history at the time. The Laurelhurst Company promoted this area by advertising that “everything of an objectionable nature will be excluded”. Meandering streets were meant to create a bit of the “county in the city”. The promotional brochure billed it as a “bungalow fairyland”.
Laurelhurst is entirely residential and the overwhelming majority of homes are single-family detached houses built between 1910 and the Second World War, with 86% home ownership. The area is laid out in a grid with flat winding streets. Most homes have mature trees, parks are wooded. Architecture runs the gamut from foursquares to tile-roofed Spanish colonials, although bungalows of various sizes and configurations are the most common house types. There are sidewalks for walking. The neighborhood is very walkable with walk scores in the high 60s to low 70s as recorded by Walk Score.
