Lake Oswego

Just eight miles from downtown Portland, Lake Oswego is an afluent suburb boasting a vibrant and walkable downtown with a popular Farmers’ Market, great restaurants and boutique shopping. Originally a lake resort popular for fishing and swimming in the early 20th century, this sought-after community has become one of Portland’s most desirable locations. Centered around the 415-acre Oswego Lake, properties range from historic bungalows in the First Addition neighborhood to luxurious custom-built lakefront estates. Residents enjoy award-winning schools and access to nearly 600 acres of community parks, complete with sports fields and hiking trails, as well as membership opportunities at the private Oswego Lake Country Club, boasting a golf course originally designed by Chandler Egan in the 1920s. The lake and its recreational facilities are the jewel of the city, attracting boaters, swimmers, kayakers and paddle boarders to enjoy its waters, solidifying its reputation as one of the best places to live in Oregon.
