Jantzen Beach Center — Attraction in Portland

This place has a variety of stores ranging from crafts to electronics to home repair, sporting goods , speciality stores for health and to clothing to make up and so on. I felt safe with the security doing rutine patrols and the way the Portland police made their present known. Yes like so many places the homeless are here as well but they seem to keep a distance and don't harass anyone that I noticed. When we got hungry there were plenty of options for us to choose from like the usually McDonalds and Taco Bell to the more home seating of Denny's to a great place we tried called the cracker barrel which the food was great to the staff just as good and the general store that sells misc. Merchandise that seem to fit about at least most of our family. So you can't go wrong here at jatzen beach I wish the old marry go round was still here as when I was kid it was just awesome to ride the ride and feel as though I was free and able to just let go and escoe with the feelings of freedom and imagination.if that was still here you really couldn't give enough stars to give this place justice. So you won't be dissapointed but you will be a bit it lighter in the...

Target is ok I mean it's target but with that said there are so many homeless down there is stupid and they won't leave you alone....other then that there really isn't a good reason to go there. That place has went down hill straight into the to toliet. So if you need to get your shop on do it somewhere else where you don't have to worry about you car or the homeless bugging you to death..that area went down hill when they put all those gambling joints by McDonalds it just draws the wrong crowd. I will tell you how bad it is there safe way had a crown jewel store there( back in the day one of there best stores) anyways they closed it do to drug use and homeless on there property.. Come on portland wake up its just another reason why this town is getting flushed down the toilet of American cities and its to bad it was a nice place back in the 70s and 80s hell maybe into the 90s but now they need to knock it all down give the homeless work and start over or it won't be long and all those stores will be closing...bye Safeway bye toys r us just the start trust me.....keep driving on I5 and find somewhere else to spend your hard earned money in peace...

Jantzen Beach Center is exactly what you want when it comes to large selection of big box stores all in one place. Easy access for Oregon and Washington residents by way of I-5. It's served by the Portland metro area's TriMet bus line #6 and Vancouver, Washington's C-TRAN bus line #60. Both bus services have their bus stops located on the east side of the Center's parking lot.

If you ride the bus there, you're probably used to walking a lot in the rain, snow, sunshine, wind and whatever the weather throws at you. It's a big area, so be prepared to safely walk and plan your purchases accordingly.

TriMet's MAX light-rail Yellow line "services" Jantzen Beach Center, but the line ends about 1.2 miles away. It's not a walk for even the hardiest of souls. There are multiple homeless camps on the way to shopping, and with the homelessness, there's a lot of petty and serious crime at hand.

Public bus services, cars or trucks are your best bet and safest way to Jantzen Beach Center.

If you take the bus, be prepared for some depressive sights along the way. I've been to Third-World countries that look better than the views getting to...
