Evergreen suburb in the Tualatin Mountains
Situated within the Tualatin Mountains, the Arlington Heights community is surrounded by public gardens and attractions, including the Oregon Zoo and the massive 410-acre Washington Park. The origin of the community dates back to early settlers who operated a tannery, an apple orchard, ranches and farms along the steep hillsides. Arlington Heights is known to some as ‘The Neighborhood in the Park.’ While an early version of Washington Park and the Oregon Zoo opened toward the end of the 1800s, the residential neighborhood as it exists today didn’t begin taking shape until the early 1900s. The community is highly sought-after for the scenic mountain views, the highly rated school district and the proximity to urban amenities. Residents here often spend their time taking advantage of the nearby greenery at Washington Park, supporting local businesses like Sterling Coffee Roasters and attending community-oriented events like the annual summer concert series at Oregon Zoo. Located just 3 miles from downtown Portland, residents here enjoy abundant outdoor amenities while still reaping the benefits of being in a city. “Arlington Heights is quite an amazing neighborhood with some of the most stunning, yet also most expensive homes in the Portland Metro Area,” says Matt Moss, long-time local Portland Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty.

Tudor cottages and mid-century modern homes
Arlington Heights features a range of housing options from Tudor cottages and contemporary New Traditionals to Craftsman and mid-century modern styles. The Arlington Heights community features around 300 homes, developing gradually over time with a few dozen homes added each decade. While new listings are somewhat rare, empty lots are available for those interested in building within the area. The community boasts elevated suburban living in heavily wooded terraces with a variety of individual home styles and no Homeowners Association. With a median sales price of $1,222,000, price points here can range from the mid 800,000s to upwards of seven figures depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a three-bedroom mid-century home with a wide back deck can go for around $850,000, while a newly constructed four-bedroom contemporary New Traditional can go for around $1,900,000. Homes here often feature private gated entry, multi-car garages and are typically accompanied by porches for basking in the views of the evergreen trees on the hills above Portland. “Homes here tend to attract buyers who like to live in luxury, while still being extremely close to the urban northwest quadrant of Portland — due to its dead center location, residents can access suburbs like Beaverton and Hillsboro in a matter of minutes or even OHSU Hospital as I expect many doctors are living in Arlington Heights,” says Moss.
