You would be hard-pressed to find a more stunning location in Oregon than Lake Oswego. Founded in 1847, the homes of this beautiful city surround the all-encompassing 405 acres of picturesque Lake Oswego. With less than 40,000 residents, this affluent tight-knit community has small-town charm while maintaining proximity to downtown Portland.
A large part of why people love living in Lake Oswego, and what attracts new residents, is its variety of activities for all ages. The weekly Farmer's Market is a community hit for those looking for an artisanal snack, mingle with friends from the neighborhood, or seeking the region's most fresh produce to bring home for the family to enjoy. If you desire an outdoor hike, the City of Lake Oswego has built five loop trails that wind around the city, totaling more than 23 beautiful miles. Residents can also take a dip in the Swim Park, bask in the views on the Willamette View Trolly, or pop into the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum.
With a bevy of spectacular schools, families in Lake Oswego can breathe easy knowing their children are well cared for and educated during the year. To fill their nights and weekends, locals become regulars at the city's wine rooms, waterfront restaurants, and numerous parks that span the city. All of this, along with the homes and the neighborhood's beauty, make it even easier to call Lake Oswego home.
