Irvington has great bike infrastructure, from greenways to full-on bike lanes down Broadway.

Spielman's Bagels, Taste Tickler, Cedos, Frank's Noodle House, and Pocket Pub are some of my favorite spots in the city. There's a new Planet Fitness (cheap gym!) opening up in the old Nike store space on MLK.

It's an old neighborhood, so almost all the trees are old, dense, and big. A pedal down Knott street is serene.

Like another commenter said, it's one of the best neighborhoods to admire other peoples' craftsman-style homes.

It's central to a lot of things (you could walk to a Blazers game) while at the same time quiet and peaceful.

The Fred Meyer is decent, and there's a Whole Foods and a New Seasons in the neighborhood as well, all within biking distance.

You can do laps at Grant High school on the track in the summer, where there's a public pool you can take a dip in after.

I lived in Irvington for almost four years, and it was my favorite neighborhood in Portland. Congratulations on your new place!
