Discover your housing dreams at the 2024 NW Natural Street of Dreams

As the event approaches 50 years in production, the NW Natural Street of Dreams realizes that dreams look different these days.

With single-site land developments becoming harder to find, housing costs rising, and interest rates rising, the Home Building Association (HBA) of Greater Portland has changed its annual event to an on-tour format that focuses on a variety of housing types and budget ranges.

The 2024 NW Natural Street of Dreams ON TOUR edition is running for three extended weekends, Aug. 1–18. Attendees will be able to experience the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the quality craftsmanship of our region while discovering new communities and housing options in neighborhoods including Portland, Hillsboro, Sherwood and Lake Oswego. The annual home tour, produced by the Home Building Association of Greater Portland, offers a unique opportunity for home inspiration, showcasing the latest in design trends and technology.

More than 20 locations will be showcasing more than 10 builders on the 2024 tour and provide additional free experiences along the way. The 2024 show presents a diverse array of stunning single-family new construction homes that attendees would expect to see on an annual Street of Dreams tour, but the new ON TOUR format now also features new residences ranging from luxury custom-built homes to high-end condos and apartments. Plus — new this year — the show will offer a more affordable housing option to view — what’s considered “middle housing” options in Portland, including duplexes, cottage clusters, and townhomes that have become an important piece of the solution to the housing affordability issue in our region.

Spread around the greater Portland area, this three-week event aims to illustrate that dreams come in diverse sizes and styles and is sure to inspire everyone, no matter the budget. Whether you are looking to experience the latest in design trends up close or are looking to buy your first home and want to see the newest and most accessible offerings to first-time homebuyers.

Lastly, this year's NW Natural Street of Dreams will donate $1 of each ticket to the HBA's charitable arm, the Home Building Foundation (HBF), in support of its projects that help the community and those in need on their journey to discover their own dreams.
