Living on Hayden Island
The Portland region has more floating homes than Seattle or San Franciso. Hayden Island alone has four moorages for floating homes, including West Hayden Island Moorage, with 57 floating homes, on the far west side, Jantzen Beach Moorage, Inc, the largest with 176 Floating Homes (south of Home Depot), Island Cove Floating Homes with 55 units (just west of Lotus Isle Park), and Tomahawk Island Floating Homes with some 72 community members (east of Lotus Isle Park). Portland Floating homes also include nearby Class Harbor and Suttle Road Moorage, west of the railroad bridge (map) and The Columbia Ridge Marina, the Big Eddy Marina and others, close to Blue Lake (map).
We also have a large manufactured home community, an RV Park, waterfront homes, condominiums and apartments as well as quite a few “live aboards”, people who live on their boat either part time or full time.
