The Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood is located in Southeast Portland. It is bordered by the Willamette River, Brooklyn, and Eastmoreland neighborhoods.

The Sellwood and Moreland neighborhood evokes a wonderful neighborhood feeling, with a strong sense of community, and a nostalgic "back in the good old days" feeling, enhanced by the large selection of antique shops and independent locally owned businesses that have been in the neighborhood for generations. This area is family friendly, walkable, and livable with a strong sense of community pride.

The Moreland neighborhood of Portland is divided into Eastmoreland and Westmoreland. Splitting hairs? Not according to the neighbors. Ask them, and they?ll say that Eastmoreland is the kind of place where other people mow your lawn. In Westmoreland, they do their own. Yard work aside, it?s certainly evident that the activity of the area ? the hustle, bustle, and commerce ? belongs entirely to Westmoreland. In the size reserved for just one of those well manicured lawns surrounding an Eastmoreland mansion, four businesses could fit in Westmoreland. Each has their charm. But as the seat of the neighborhood?s retail trade, Westmoreland?s landscape is far more conducive to a verbal tour. We'll cover Westmoreland on this neighborhood page as part of the "Sellwood-Moreland" neighborhood, since that is how it is classified by the City of Portland.
