Nob Hill is a sophisticated, yet trendy, neighborhood surrounding the very popular NW 21st and Northwest 23rd Streets. Similar to its sister neighborhood, the original Nob Hill in San Francisco, the narrow streets are lined with turn-of-the-century Victorian houses, some of which have been turned into artsy shops, trendy clothing boutiques and locally-owned book stores. Sprinkled in are a few of the more popular national chain stores. There are many beautiful and historic homes along the side streets of the neighborhood. This is a great Portland neighborhood for strolling and people-watching. http://www.oregonlive.com/window-shop/index.ssf/2016/04/nw_23rd_shopping_guide.html

This internationally recognized garden is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year, but April through May, when the azaleas and rhododendrons are in full bloom, the garden is spectacular. A springfed lake surrounds much of the garden, attracting countless waterfowl which nest and feed in this natural habitat.
