Country and city living close to Portland

Bull Mountain, 12 miles from Portland, is a community with one foot in the country and the other in the city. Its central and eastern portions are densely residential, while the western part of the neighborhood stretches into Oregon wine country. Neighborhood yards and gardens are carefully manicured, featuring a pleasant mix of towering oaks and evergreens. Homes sit beside thin sidewalks and large roadways, categorizing this as a commuter community. Oregon has all four seasons, and winters on Bull Mountain can become cold. “On top of Bull Mountain, it gets really icy,” says Anne Stewart, principal broker at EXP Realty and resident. “Usually, the only road plowed is Bull Mountain Road.” The CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, which is below the national average of 4.
