Welcome to Argay Terrace

 
Welcome to Argay Terrace and the Argay Terrace Neighborhood Association website.  We are a community of over 6,000 people living in over 2,300 households, located in suburban northeast Portland. Our geographic boundaries are: NE 122nd Avenue on the west, NE 148th Avenue on the east, the I-84 (Banfield) Freeway on the south, and NE Marine Drive (Columbia River) on the north.  
 
Argay Terrace is a planned development from the mid-century. Argay’s curving streets and cul-de-sacs do not directly inter-connect in the traditional Portland grid pattern and connections to main arterials are limited, keeping traffic to a minimum. This makes our neighborhood great for walking, running, and biking. K-12 schools and public parks are within walking distance of most homes. Commercial and apartment development is limited to a narrow band along the bordering arterial streets. People move to Argay for a number of reasons; it’s a great place to raise a family, it has a desirable mid-century aesthetic, it’s close to everything in the quickly developing east side of Portland while remaining somewhat isolated and quiet. Many residents purchased their homes here in the 1950s and 60s and have remained ever since because it is such a great place to live.

A variety of land use zones exists within Argay Terrace. South of NE Sandy Blvd there are a number of residential zones, from single dwelling to multi-unit dwelling areas, as well as commercial mixed-use zones. To the north of NE Sandy, there is a large area set aside for general industrial, and the area along the Columbia River is zoned as open space.
