Alameda: A Community of Neighbors

Located in inner Northeast Portland, Alameda is an inclusive community where neighbors support each other, and care deeply about the livability of our neighborhood.

The Alameda Neighborhood Association is a volunteer-led organization. We help keep neighbors informed, address issues, and provide advocacy. We come together through meetings and events that foster a sense of community and support the well-being of our neighborhood.

Alameda Neighborhood Association meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7 pm at Fremont United Methodist Church, 2620 NE Fremont St. All are welcome to attend! Meetings are a great way to find out about what’s going on in the neighborhood.

REGISTER FOR ZONING PROJECT MEETING TUESDAY OCT 13, 7PM.

The Alameda Neighborhood Association has invited Bill Cunningham from Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability to discuss the proposed Inner Eastside Zoning Project, and how it will impact Alameda. The primary intent of the project is to change zoning rules to expand the areas where multi-dwelling housing and mixed-use development can be built.

Come learn more at this free event! Space is limited - please RSVP here.

A Reminder About Coexisting with Coyotes

Coyotes have lived in Alameda for years, and while we’re used to them, it’s important to remind them that humans should be feared and avoided. Here are some measures you can take so we can continue to coexist peacefully:

• Don't feed coyotes 

Be mindful of inadvertent feeding through sources like compost piles, fallen fruit, and outdoor pet food. Keep pets indoors.

• Haze coyotes (scare them away) whenever you see them

Use a loud voice, wave your arms, and employ methods like rattling a can of rocks, clapping, or using an airhorn.

For more info on living with our neighborhood coyotes visit the Portland Urban Coyote Project at portlandcoyote.com

Alameda neighborhood Survey Results Show General Satisfaction with “Neighborliness”

The results are in! The Alameda Neighborhood Association Community Life Committee would like to thank the 98 neighbors who participated in our first online survey on the topic of “neighborliness”. While responses were positive overall, nearly 40%of respondents would like to see more opportunities for social interaction in the neighborhood.

The full survey results are available here.

Century Plaques ARE here!

Is your home at least 100 years old? If so, you can celebrate it with an Alameda commemorative plaque!

The Alameda Neighborhood Association is now offering Century Home Plaques that can be attached to your house or displayed inside on a shelf or mantel.

The heavy cast, polished bronze plaques are 2-½ inches tall and 10 inches wide, and will be similar to those sold in the Laurelhurst neighborhood (see photo above).

We are currently accepting orders for homes built in 1926 or earlier. For info and ordering instructions visit our Alameda Century Plaques page.
