5 New Construction Portland Homes for Sale – with Unique Personalities

Portland is a town chock full of old homes, often ones with a ton of history behind them. But not everyone wants to deal with the history that comes with an older home. There’s a certain peace of mind that comes from new construction. No need to suffer through the inspection period worried about what the sellers might be glossing over. Not to say that you shouldn’t still perform your due diligence. But at least you know that the big ticket items – such as the furnace, roof, and windows, for example – shouldn’t need replacing any time soon.

Does the idea of a newly built home appeal to you? You’re in luck. While you might think they can be hard to find, our filters make it easy to search for newly built homes. Simply select the drop down filters on the right side of the of the top bar. From there, you can choose the “Year Built” filter to view homes only built from 2020 on.

And you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find! While new construction represents a small percentage of what’s on the market in Portland, that doesn’t mean it’s a one note pool. New construction homes come in a range of styles and layouts, from modern to classically inspired. So let’s check out five of them that are for sale now, and see what we can find!

#1 – 9018 N Allegheny Ave.

9018 N Allegheny AVE

We’ll kick things off in stylish St. John’s. This two story home is typical of many newer construction houses in the sense that it follows the mantra of build up rather than out. You’ve got plenty of square footage even though it’s a smaller lot, and the space lives large. An open floor plan on the lower level includes a spacious living area and a gorgeous kitchen with high end stainless steel appliances. Upstairs? Plenty of windows, plenty of closet space, and a huge soaking tub in the primary suite to seal the deal.

#2 – 5954 SE Harney St.

5954 SE HARNEY ST

Does building up rather than out not appeal to you? Here’s another option: a classic single level home. Most “ranch style” homes come from the middle of the twentieth century, so it’s unusual to see a brand new one in Portland proper. Yet here we are. Typically, ranch style homes tend to offer an open concept in the living and dining rooms and kitchen. And that holds up here. However, you’ve got some state of the art updates as well. Take the walk in closet in the primary suite, or the high efficiency gas furnace, which is sure to save you some cash on utilities. Outside, a nicely sized backyard awaits your entertaining dreams.

#3 – 4932 NE 33rd Ave.

4932 NE 33RD AVE

Looking for that old world feel but with a modern twist? This could be the listing for you. The design of this home, like the first listing, builds up rather than out. But it borrows design elements from the Portland Foursquare with its nod towards a square shape and its dormer windows. Inside, you’ll find all the modern elements you’re searching for, including gas appliances and a large walk in closet. A couple of big bonuses come with this home. For one, you’ve got a one year builder’s warranty, which means if any issues with the build come up, you’re covered. For another, it’s a fantastic location! Just a handful of blocks from the Alberta Arts District, this home will put you in the heart of Portland culture.

#4 – 12630 SE Kelly St.

12630 SE KELLY ST

Next up, we’ve got one for you minimalists out there. This home is the last of three new builds in Powellhusrt-Gilbert. And it’s got that special something that screams modern. A slanted roof, clean lines, and sharp angles make this home contemporary and cutting edge. Inside, you’ll find beautiful laminate floors and vaulted ceilings that continue the elegance of the facade. And don’t miss the chef’s kitchen with a freestanding gas range.

#5 – 16698 NW Crossvine St. Lot 96

16698 NW Crossvine (lot 96) ST

Let’s round things off with a huge luxury offering in North Bethany just blocks from Forest Park. Where to start? The living area includes a giant stone fireplace as its centerpiece. The kitchen is open concept with a to-die-for granite island. Hardwood floors welcome you in. If that’s not enough for you, don’t forget to check out the high recessed ceilings and the walk in tile shower in the primary suite. This brand new home in a highly desirable area is sure to go fast, so check it out while you can!
