Suburban-living in the Southwest Hills of Portland
Located southwest of Portland, the community of Ashcreek offers residents tranquil suburban living with immediate access to U.S. Interstate-5 and a quick 7-mile commute to the downtown area. Ashcreek surged in popularity in the 1960s and developed as a result of the completion of I-5, making it a prime location for commuters into Portland seeking a more at-ease lifestyle. Aside from the quick proximity to urban amenities, homebuyers are attracted to Ashcreek because of the urban amenities nearby at Cascade Plaza and the highly ranked school district aligned with the area. Residents here often spend their time hiking the nearby trails at the Woods Memorial Natural Area and attending community-oriented events like the annual summer picnic in July. Living in Ashcreek provides a tranquil, tree-filled setting for outdoor enthusiasts who don’t want to sacrifice close proximity to downtown Portland. “The community offers more outdoor recreation than you’d think, with it being so close to downtown," says Stephen FitzMaurice, Principal Broker for eXp Realty. “It's also next to a Trader Joe's and that's a pretty big deal for some people.”

American Foursquares and mid-century ramblers
Ashcreek features a range of housing options from bi-level homes and mid-century ramblers to American Foursquares and multi-story New Traditionals. Ashcreek boasts winding roads and terraced properties up the hillside on the neighborhood’s western edge. Roads here are lined with towering Douglas fir and flowering Maple trees, giving the neighborhood a feeling of being in the forest even though urban amenities are nearby. With a median sales price of $625,000, price points here can range from the mid 300,000s to upwards of seven figures depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a two-bedroom ranch-style can go for around $355,000, while a newly constructed four-bedroom contemporary New Traditional with a wrap-around back deck can go for around $1,200,000. Larger homes along the hillside are subject to increased price points here. Homebuyers might trade the extra space and view for more privacy at the bottom of the hill. Homes here often feature back decks, paved driveways, multi-car garages and are typically fronted by small lawns with wooden fences or hedges for added privacy from neighbors.
