Template:Infobox Neighborhood Portland OR Montavilla (a syllabic abbreviation of "Mt. Tabor Villa") is a neighborhood in the Northeast and Southeast sections of Portland, Oregon, United States, and contains an area of 82nd Avenue lasting from NE Glisan to SE Division that contains many of the city's used car dealers, as well as the Montavilla commercial district on SE Stark St.
The neighborhood was originally, in the 1890s, named Mount Tabor Villa, but on the destination signs of the streetcars that served the area starting in 1892 the name was abbreviated as "Mt. Ta. Villa" and then as "Monta.Villa". Residents soon adopted the latter name for the neighborhood, written as Montavilla. Streetcar service to Montavilla ended in 1948.
In December 2008, the neighborhood association teamed up with the city to address the rampant prostitution in this neighborhood.
