Lake Oswego Homes for Sale

Lake Oswego is not your typical bedroom community. Although it’s just eight miles south of downtown Portland, the flourishing city of almost 37,000 is centered around the lake of the same name and bordered by the Willamette River, providing superb views and great walks. The parks, public golf course and winding and scenic river make the community a delightful place to call home.

The most desirable property is around the large private lake fed by the Tualatin River. Lake Oswego has been identified as one of the country’s top ten most desirable places for parents to live and lake access is mostly deeded to lakefront property owners. The lake is maintained by the Lake Oswego Corporation.

Communities in Lake Oswego include First Addition and Mountain Park. First Addition is an area of 25-30 blocks of historic homes as well as many newer homes. In 2006, Cottage Living magazine named First Addition as one of the ten best cottage communities in the country. Cooing over the quaint homes, the national magazine spoke of the easy walk to downtown and Lake Oswego, and the “jewel-box gardens winking from behind picket fences.” Mountain Park is a nationally recognized planned community in Lake Oswego with a population of approximately 10,000. Mountain Park is situated on 700 acres of land and is located on a dormant volcano known as Mt. Sylvania in the Northwest corner of Lake Oswego.

Lake Oswego provides numerous programs and activities for adults, teens, and children. There is a city-owned sports center on the Willamette River, two public swimming facilities on the 405-acre Oswego Lake, an 18-hole golf course, indoor tennis center, and outdoor amphitheater. There are 539 acres of parks and open spaces and 14 miles of bike lanes.

One of the most exciting amenities of the community is the recreational loop system of pathways that connect neighborhoods with schools, parks, and commercial centers. The system was founded to enable residents to travel safely by foot, bicycle, or in-line skates and enjoy the scenic beauty of Lake Oswego on the many miles of tree-lined, interconnected, and paved pathways. With an abundance of natural beauty, wonderful amenities and great real estate options, Lake Oswego is a must-consider destination for homebuyers in the Portland area.
