Foothills
Suburban Neighborhood in Lake Oswego, Oregon
Clackamas County 97034
The Foothills neighborhood in Lake Oswego, Oregon is tucked between the Willamette River and Lakewood Bay. With riverside views, stellar schools and plenty of housing options, this charming neighborhood is a great choice for those looking for a quick commute to downtown Portland.
Foothills provides a diverse array of residential homes that cater to various tastes and preferences. With a mix of modern ranches, bungalows, custom builds and new condos, this neighborhood offers a rich tapestry of architectural styles. “The most expensive houses can be found along the Willamette River, and they come in all shapes and sizes. You’ll find various homes and condos on forested streets off the river shore,” says Elizabeth Davidson, real estate broker with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty and resident of Lake Oswego. Houses range in price from $700,000 to $800,000, with exceptions being houses with riverfront views, which typically sell for $1 million to $2 million, and condos are priced starting at $400,000. Foothill's roads don’t guarantee sidewalks, but the residential roads have slow speed limits, making them safe for evening strolls or walking the dog.
Students living in Foothills attend Lake Oswego School District schools, rated A-plus by Niche. “Probably the biggest draw to Foothills is the high-quality schools,” says Davidson. “The public school district has been highly ranked for years and many people move here to make sure their children get a great education.” The district includes 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 2 high schools. A student living in Foothills may attend Hallinan Elementary School, rated A, Lake Oswego Junior High School, rated A, and Lake Oswego Senior High School, rated A-plus and listed as the best public high school in Oregon, according to Niche.
The river is another huge draw to the area. “People here love the outdoors and spend afternoons and weekends paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and fishing along the shoreline,” says Davidson. “You’ll find neighbors outside taking hikes even when it rains—which is pretty often here in the Pacific Northwest!” Locals head to Foothills Park to enjoy walking paths and Oswego Landing for views of the river. There’s also Oswego Park Playground, perfect for kids to explore and play outside. During colder weather, locals take advantage of Pure Barre and Tutu School for dance lessons and ride the Willamette Shore Trolley from Foothills to downtown Lake Oswego for shopping and sightseeing. When winter weather hits, winter sports fans are in luck. “Skiing and snowboarding are very popular here,” says Davidson. “We’re only an hour from Mount Hood, which has super accessible slopes with a variety of options for beginners to advanced skiers.”
Home cooks will love easy access to Foothill’s Whole Foods, conveniently located just off the residential streets. When you would rather dine out, Nicoletta’s Table and Marketplace is a local favorite for authentic Italian cuisine and fresh scallops from the Pacific. Or enjoy Oregon’s world-famous Pinot Noirs from Willamette Valley Vineyards’ Lake Oswego venue in the Oswego Village Shopping Center. Nearby, Stickmen Brewing Company serves barbeque and craft beer on the Oswego lakefront.
“Lake Oswego, and especially neighborhoods that border the river like Foothills, are close to everything people want. Easy access to outdoor recreation, plus only a twenty-minute drive into downtown Portland,” says Davidson. From beautiful views to exceptional schools, Foothills has plenty of benefits for residents both new and old.
