KERNSIDE

Explore the 5th coolest neighborhood on the planet

Kerns, Portland

Recently voted 5th coolest neighborhood in the WORLD, by Time Out

Time Out — which reports on travel, culture and entertainment — curated a list of the 38 coolest neighborhoods. The online global magazine said a neighborhood's cool factor goes beyond being a "hipster hub" and reflects the best of its city's culture, community spirit, and food and drink "all condensed in one vibey, walkable district."

Kerns might belong to one of the West Coast’s major cities, but it feels like a perfectly-formed small town," the article said. "It’s surrounded by residential streets filled with some of the city’s most charming craftsman homes, Spanish-style apartments, flower-filled gardens and fruiting trees.
