Lake Oswego Real Estate – Homes for Sale in Lake Oswego

Lake Oswego is a suburb of Portland, located about 8-10 miles south of downtown. Once a former iron and smelting town, it is now one of Portland’s most affluent suburbs. Even a few of our beloved Trailblazers call Lake Oswego home. This mostly residential community prides itself on its well-kept homes, strong community, and public parks. In fact, most Lake Oswego neighborhoods are home to a park, if not two or three. So regardless of your proximity to Portland, you can still find an abundance of outdoor recreation; whether it’s a forest hike, a trail to mountain bike, or a river to fish – this is Oregon, after all.

Golf and tennis opportunities also abound. Try out the Oswego Lake Country Club and Golf Course if you prefer a classy round of drinks and golf or the equally good Lake Oswego Golf Course in the Palisades neighborhood, open to the public year round. Luscher Farm, a large public agricultural park, is another popular destination. Not only do they have a 10-acre community supported CSA program but they constantly run classrooms and workshops on urban gardening, composting, organic techniques, and much, much more.

Throughout the year, many arts and crafts festivals, holiday events, and local Farmers Markets are held in various parks and community gathering spots around town.
