Ashcreek-Crestwood Neighborhood is a small, hilly and forested urban wilderness in SW Portland, Oregon. Its many creeks feed into Fanno Creek. There are lovely views of the coast range from Dickinson Park. The neighborhood borders Washington County to the west, and Interstate-5 to the south, and includes part of West Portland Town Center.  

The neighborhood association serves the interest of our neighbors and the greater SW Portland area. We have meetings on the 2nd Monday of each month and our meetings are always open to the public and everyone is welcome to join and contribute to our community. Come on out and participate in your neighborhood. For more information contact our President. If you live or own a business within our neighborhood boundary you are welcome to become a member.

Ashcreek-Crestwood NA is within the District 4 Coalition.  You can sign up for the monthly District 4 electronic newsletter, “D4C Voices”, by scrolling down the District 4 home page. The website features a comprehensive look at all our southwest neighborhoods, as well as events, resources and services.
