Facility Overview

The parking lot situated at 1421 NE 118th Ave is a dedicated open-air surface parking area serving the Carie Lynn townhome community and neighboring residential properties within Portland's vibrant Hazelwood and Gateway districts. Designed as a traditional flat asphalt surface lot, this location offers straightforward parking bays with marked stalls and wide drive aisles that facilitate effortless vehicle maneuvering.
