Downtown Portland is the city center of Portland, Oregon, It is on the west bank of the Willamette River in the northeastern corner of the southwest section of the city and where most of the city’s high-rise buildings are found.
The downtown neighborhood extends west from the Willamette to Interstate 405 and south from Burnside Street to just south of the Portland State University campus (also bounded by I-405), except for a part of northeastern portion north of SW Harvey Milk Street and east of SW 3rd Ave that belongs to the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood. High-density business and residential districts near downtown include the Lloyd District, across the river from the northern part of downtown, and the South Waterfront area, just south of downtown in the South Portland neighborhood.
Some of its attractions are the Portland Waterfront which hosts Portland Saturday Market and Portland Rose Festival every June. Located in central downtown is Pioneer Square Portland’s living room.
