Mount Tabor

At the heart of the Mt. Tabor neighborhood is Mt. Tabor Park, located at SE 60th and Salmon in Southeast Portland. This is one of the city's larger parks and features a 600-foot extinct volcano located in the northwest corner of the park. Miles of walking and bike trails wind through the tall firs to the top of the volcano. The park also has picnic tables an amphitheatre, and an off-leash dog park. Several picturesque freshwater reservoirs hold much of Portland's drinking water.

Mount Tabor, named for the 600-foot high extinct volcano that is its landmark, has sweeping city and mountain views, proximity to downtown (15 minutes by car heading straight West), the scenic 195-acre public park, and an easy mix of modest older homes and stately mansions. Mt. Tabor is the only volcano within a major city in the United States.

Mount Tabor is a very stable neighborhood, and people stay in Mount Tabor once they relocate to the area. Homes come in a variety of styles and shapes so people can usually find what they are looking for.
