Our neighborhood inspires loyalty.

The St. Johns Bridge, local icon beloved by local old-timers, daytrippers, bridge-o-philes and artists, presides over our riverside community in stately benevolence and gothic beauty. We’re perched on the Willamette Bluff looking across the river to Forest Park, train whistles and shiphorns updating us on their journeys to T5 & T6 around the North Bend. Coyotes howl in Baltimore Woods just blocks from our own town square with the downtown skyline on the horizon.

We love where we live because of WHERE we live.

Fourth generation St. Johns families still live next door to each other. New families flood the streets and parks. Artists & entrepreneurs find inspiration and opportunity in this picturesque and diverse, gritty and quaint small town. We love the strong local identity and history still palpable, and we love the change that is in the air. The Mariner’s Compass Rose will point true North.

It will offer navigational aid to the natural and manmade landmarks encircling us, pulling our gaze toward the horizons so we may fully appreciate the geographical and economic factors that have brought us together on this small patch of earth.
