Welcome to The Garden Retreat, your home away from home in a classic, updated 3,200 sq ft mid-century brick home with daylight basement, nestled in the historic Vancouver Heights neighborhood, minutes from downtown Portland, Oregon and the Portland Airport.

Looking for a home that can accommodate your entire family with room to stretch out and enjoy different activities? Want it close to attractions, the airport, easy on and off highway access and Portland yet in a QUIET neighborhood with PLENTY of FREE PARKING?

Come stay at The Garden Retreat and see what it and the surrounding area has to offer.
