Natural living, a step above the rest

Stretched out over three cinder cone volcanoes, this neighborhood on the city’s southern border is the perfect place for anyone who wants a house with a view. A butte is a raised landmass formed from erosion or volcanic activity, and the Portland Basin is home to dozens. Thanks to a joint effort between the city of Gresham and Oregon Metro, Gabbert Butte and Hogan Butte are now nature preserves where you can go hiking and explore the forest that covers them. Gresham Butte, on the other hand, is a residential neighborhood where just about every house has a view.

Gabbert Butte offers hundreds of acres of heavily forested slopes.

Nature parks just steps away

“We have a community running club that uses the neighborhood for a lot of its trail runs,” says Nicole Richards, a local real estate broker with eXp Realty LLC. Gabbert Butte Nature Park has 2 miles of wooded trails and Hogan Butte Nature Park is home to a paved half-mile path, popular among local dog owners and bird watchers. After walking through Hogan Butte, visitors can enjoy a packed lunch at the picnic pavilion. Persimmon Country Club is located on the community’s southeast side. This private club is home to a picturesque 18-hole golf course that takes players over rolling hills and under the shade of mature maples and pines, along with a seasonal pool and a dining room.

Homes on the hills

The area is home to hilly residential streets and most homes were built between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s, with bi-levels, ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals being most common. While most of the homes here are more established, there are some newly constructed craftsman-style and modern traditional builds throughout the neighborhood. With an average house price of $595,000, Gresham Butte’s prices are around $100,000 higher than the average Oregon home. Most homes sit close together on quarter-acre lots, while driving along Southwest Walters Drive takes residents toward more private and, in some cases, wooded properties with lots reaching sizes of an acre and more.

Downtown Gresham amenities

The community is directly south of downtown Gresham, home to dozens of local restaurants and shops. When it’s time for a kitchen restock, residents pick up their groceries at the nearby Fred Meyer or WinCo Foods.
