Often referred to as one of the most prestigious addresses in Metropolitan Portland, it is known for elegant grounds, spacious homes and its own outstanding school district: Riverdale.

Tryon Creek State Park hugs the southwestern border of Dunthorpe and has 645 forested acres of hiking trails, paved bicycle paths and horse trails. Nestled high on a bluff on the Willamette River, is the Elk Rock Gardens of the Bishop’s Close; an estate with six acres of cultivated English-style gardens designed by the same New York firm that designed Central Park in New York City. The garden is open to the public and is known for its many varieties of exotic plants.
In addition to its natural setting, and strong location, Dunthorpe is also known for its highly regarded school district, Riverdale. Riverdale School District is a place where students thrive and excel academically, artistically and athletically.
