Neighborhood…
One of Astoria’s many charms is our delightful
neighborhoods.
Historic Downtown is the heartbeat of
Astoria encompassing from west to east 5th
Street to 17th from north to south between the
waterfront to Exchange Street. Listed on the
National Historic Registry, this neighborhood
is the primary entertainment, dining and
shopping district for the community with easy
walking access to the river walk, waterfront,
historic buildings, and museums.
was historically the section of town separated
from downtown by Scow Bay. Its borders are
40th on the east, the area where the street
numbers skip from 23rd to 26th on the west,
the river on the north, and Irving on the
south. For reference, a scow is a flat-bottomed
barge. Today Upper Town is most noted for
the Firefighter’s Museum located at 29th and
Marine Drive. Also in this neighborhood are
Union Town is one of the oldest
neighborhoods and is also listed on the National
Historic registry. Union Town is the area from
the Dough Boy display to the roundabout and
from Alameda to the water. The west mooring
basin and its marina is a popular place to enjoy
the beauty of the area. Alameda offers an
some historic buildings, including a pub called
Desdemona – affectionately referred to as
“The Dirty D” in homage to its once rough-and-
tumble past that included a reputation for
its trap-door where unlucky fellows would be
shanghaied.
East of town is home to the historic Pier
39 that offers a cannery museum, brewery
and restaurant, coffee shop, overnight
accommodations, a crab company and variety
of other goods and services. Access to Pier
39 is over a wooden pier that juts out into the
Columbia River and accessed by foot or car.
Alderbrook is located just off Highway 30 east
of town and is the collection of homes that
can be seen below the highway. Established
in the late 1800’s, at one time it was its own
community with a mill, canneries, a school, and
church – all connected to the rest of Astoria
via a trolley car. Today the Astoria River Walk
connects Alderbrook to downtown and beyond.
Walking across the old railroad trestles provides
a stunning view of the river and the community.
Astoria has many other neighborhoods that
locals often reference including Peter Pan, the
South Slope (WWII and newer homes), Miles
Crossing, and Jeffers Garden – each with their
distinct personalities.
