Hidden in Southwest Portland just below downtown, Johns Landing follows the bank of the Willamette River. Nearby I-5 as well as several other thoroughfares lend a sense of isolation to this narrow strip of Portland, setting it apart from the rest of the city. This is hillside Portland and the broad river view has lured developers in the past few years with the exclusive condominium community of Johns Landing being the result. One reason to choose Johns Landing for your condo investment is the close proximity to the cultural activities downtown and work yet still offering a refuge from urban pressure. Easy access to the interstate leaves you a stone's throw from metro Portland. Johns Landing has a resort air about it.
