Belmont, Portland, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Belmont Area is a retail and residential district running along SE Belmont St. in the inner Southeast section of Portland, Oregon. From west to east the area extends 48 blocks, from SE 12th Ave. to SE 60th Ave., passing through the Buckman, Sunnyside, and Mount Tabor neighborhoods. The area is only 5 blocks wide, however, running from from 4 blocks north (SE Stark St.) to 1 block south (SE Yamhill St.) of SE Belmont St. SE Belmont St. between SE 34th Ave. and SE 35th Ave., in Sunnyside, is the heart of the district.
The area developed around the first trolley line in East Portland, established in 1888 (and converted to a bus line in 1949).
The area parallels the Hawthorne District, 6 blocks to the south.
