Council Crest

The crown jewel of the West Hills is Council Crest, perched at the highest point in Portland. Believed to have been the site used by Native Americans for meetings and signal fires because of its vantage point, the area commands breathtaking panoramic views of the Cascade Range, the Willamette Valley, and the glittering cityscape. Residents enjoy Council Crest Park, once an amusement park in the early 1900s and now known for its dog-friendly hiking and walking trails and picnic destinations. Homes here are a blend of luxurious modern residences and early 20th century designs, including English Cottages and Craftsman enjoying spectacular views. Despite its tranquil ambiance, Council Crest is conveniently close to downtown amenities and OHSU, ensuring residents have easy access to the city’s vibrant food scene, cultural amenities, and sports.
