Argay is a neighborhood in the Northeast section of Portland, Oregon, United States. Argay is bounded by the Columbia River on the north, NE 122nd Ave on the west, Interstate 84 on the south, and NE 148th Ave. on the east. Originally conceived of by Art Simonson and Gerhardt (Gay) Stavney (the “Ar” and “Gay” of Argay) as a "move-up" suburban family neighborhood alternative to Portland's congested inner-city, Argay Terrace built out as planned with larger homes on large lots spread out over the gently sloping terrain that gave the area an open feeling.[citation needed] Homes are typical of the style called "Mid-Century Modern" with a mix of one-story ranches (most with basements or daylight basements), split-entry, split-level, and some modern two-story colonials.[citation needed]
