Facility Overview
Located at 11142 NE Halsey Street in East Portland's vibrant Hazelwood and Gateway commercial corridor, this facility is a dedicated open-air surface parking lot designed to serve local retail, commercial storefronts, and neighborhood patrons. The layout features straightforward perpendicular and angled parking bays directly fronting the commercial strip, allowing motorists to pull in smoothly without the hassle of multi-story ramps or claustrophobic subterranean structures. Because it is an unobstructed outdoor surface lot, there are no low-hanging overhead barriers or vertical clearance restrictions. This makes the property readily accessible for everyday passenger sedans and compact hatchbacks as well as full-size pickup trucks, raised SUVs, work utility vans, and commercial service vehicles carrying rooftop racks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically situated along the busy NE Halsey arterial between NE 111th and NE 112th Avenue, this parking location places drivers moments away from East Portland's central business and recreational nodes. The property directly serves patrons of on-site services, including local boutiques, personal care establishments like Remix Nail Salon, and entertainment venues such as PDX Barbies. Just a few blocks to the west (under one mile) sits the Gateway Shopping Center, Gateway Discovery Park with its community plaza and splash pad, and Fred Meyer. Heading slightly east along NE Halsey brings drivers to the scenic Glendoveer Golf Course and its renowned two-mile fitness trail within a quick 5-minute drive (approx. 1.8 miles). Additionally, regional medical centers like Adventist Health Portland and the shopping hub at Mall 205 are reachable within an 8-minute drive to the south.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via multiple wide curb cuts positioned directly along the south side of NE Halsey Street. Halsey provides smooth east-west vehicular flow, connecting smoothly to NE 102nd Avenue and NE 122nd Avenue. Freeway connections are exceptionally convenient: the I-205 (Veterans Memorial Highway) interchange is less than one mile to the west, offering quick north-south transit across the Portland metro area, Portland International Airport (PDX, roughly 10 minutes north), and immediate links onto I-84 (Banfield Freeway) heading directly into Downtown Portland or east toward the Columbia River Gorge. For transit riders, TriMet Bus Line 77 (Broadway/Halsey) maintains active bus stops steps away at NE Halsey & 111th, providing seamless connectivity to the Gateway Transit Center and TriMet MAX Light Rail lines (Blue, Red, and Green lines).

Visitor & Driver Tips
When pulling into the lot from NE Halsey Street, signal early as traffic on Halsey can move swiftly during morning and afternoon commute hours. Stalls are designed primarily for customers of the plaza suites; please follow all posted on-site property signage to avoid vehicle towing or parking conflicts. Overnight non-patron parking is strictly regulated by management, so ensure your vehicle is parked strictly during designated patron visits or after confirming with on-site staff. If visiting after dusk, park in well-lit bays facing the storefronts, keep all personal belongings out of plain view, and lock your vehicle securely before leaving the space.
