There are townhomes with lakefront views and many homes within walking distance. The lake is stocked with trout every year and can be fished with a permit. Mountainside High School which is arguably the most technologically advanced school in Oregon is just minutes away.

Lake Oswego is one of the most prestigious suburbs west of the Willamette River. Also a man-made lake, this area was originally developed in the late 1800’s and has been growing ever since. There are great schools and amenities in every corner of this city. The best areas are close to downtown Lake Oswego in First Addition and Evergreen. These neighborhoods have great walkability but are also arguably the most expensive to live in all of Oregon. Home prices are more affordable further from the downtown.

Forest Heights is located just below Forest Park, the second largest city park in the world after Central Park in New York. This area is known for great walking trails and amazing views. Forest Heights is another one of the most prestigious suburbs west of the Willamette River. The boundary for this neighborhood is set by the boundary of Forest Park Elementary, arguably the best elementary school in the state. The beautiful views and short commute to downtown Portland can’t be beat.

Beautiful Murray Hill is located just South-East of Sexton Mountain. This area is near Mountainside High School and Progress Ridge is within walking distance.

You can either choose to live near Murray Hill itself or go for the epic views of Mount Hood on Diamond View Way! This area is very desirable for those working at Nike and Intel because of the short commute to work.

Located just to the south of Sexton Mountain, Bull Mountain is the best neighborhood in Tigard. This is another other area which has amazing views and is still relatively affordable. Summer Lake is also located just to the North and offers access to a pristine nature sanctuary with lakefront homes. There are great walking trails all over Bull Mountain and you are just minutes from Progress Ridge. Depending on your location on the hill you might need to drive a couple minutes to get groceries or go to a restaurant.
