Sunnyside, Portland, Oregon
Encyclopedia
Sunnyside is a neighborhood in the south east section of Portland
, between SE Stark St. and SE Hawthorne Blvd. (north to south) and from SE 28th Ave. to SE 49th Ave. (west to east). Sunnyside is sometimes referred to as the Belmont neighborhood, for its main commercial street, although technically the unofficial geographical area known colloquially as Belmont
borders both Sunnyside and Richmond
neighborhoods.
Sunnyside is bordered by Laurelhurst
to the north, Richmond
to the south, Buckman
to the west, and Mount Tabor
to the east. Because of its Victorian architecture
and bohemian culture, Hawthorne/Belmont is often compared to San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district.
