Location, Location.
Deering Center is the quintessential traditional American neighborhood. It is much loved as a family-friendly, walkable residential neighborhood close to downtown today, as it was in the 19th century when it was still an independent town. The neighborhood’s heart is its village center, a collection of businesses, services and institutions. 502 Deering Center is at the core of this village center, featuring traditional mixed-use with 3 commercial tenants and 6 apartments.
Walkability
Walkability was the underlying pattern when Deering Center was first settled as an independent town. Today, there is renewed interest in car-independence and active living. Superb walkablity remains one of the outstanding features that makes Deering Center a premier Portland neighborhood. The advantages of living in a walkable neighborhood go beyond saving money, getting exercise and reducing pollution. People feel more connected to their community when they see neighborhood children walking to school or friends strolling to the local bakery
The Best of Village Living and Urban City.
Village living offers unique off-peninsula opportunities for a quality neighborhood that is walk-friendly to shops, dining, local schools, higher education (UNE), library, recreation and practice fields, dog walking, jogging, cross country skiing and much more – all at your door step.
In addition, village life is a convenient drive, bus or bike to work, leisure or cultural activities in Portland’s urban downtown – the same qualities that has made Deering Center desirable for 150 years.
Apartment living at 502 Deering Center offers a “live simpler” approach, with high value on options to auto dependency, such as a bus stop in front and bike parking.
Commercial
502 purposefully created smaller-scaled studios and storefronts to provide opportunities for smaller and neighborhood-oriented entrepreneurs.
1A: Lecha Cafe offers a variety of bubble tea, soft and hard ice cream plus dumplings in a vibrant daily spot where Asian bubble tea traditions meet American decadent custard. Lecha Café is ideally located adjacent to Deering Center’s Pocket Park, and this pairing offers a neighborhood destination for meeting, seating and eating.
1B: Rythmia Health Direct Primary Care Clinic provides community based medical care. The DPC model charges a fixed monthly fee for bundled primary care services. Rythmia Health DPC is designed for busy families, small businesses, and individuals who value a strong doctor patient relationship providing accessible, affordable and comprehensive services.
1C: Wild Child Tattoo Personal Art Clean. Custom. Creative. Home to Nominated Best Tattoo Artists in Portland, Maine. Five artists working in a collective studio. Visit www.wildchildtattoo207.com
