Binford

The Binford water-court condominiums represent one of Portland’s most uniquely planned and historically significant mid-century garden-style communities, located in the Rose City Park neighborhood of Northeast Portland. Built originally in the late 1940s and converted to condos later, this sprawling community is widely recognized for its park-like setting, featuring multi-acre common lawns, mature shade trees, and iconic mid-century brick row-house architecture spread out over multiple blocks. The homes include single-level garden flats and two-story townhomes.

The interiors of Binford properties feature classic, enduring layouts with solid hardwood floors, large picture windows that look out onto the manicured courtyards, and surprisingly large basement storage areas. The community layout emphasizes a quiet, neighborly atmosphere that feels completely detached from the rush of the city. Located close to the Rose City Golf Course, localized neighborhood parks, and the Hollywood District transit center, Binford provides a rare combination of historic mid-century aesthetics, extensive green space, and highly accessible pricing.
