Tree-lined streets and easy access to downtown in Garden Home-Whitford
Towering Douglas firs and ponderosa pines shade the residential lanes of the Garden Home-Whitford community, located around 8 miles southwest of downtown Portland. “It’s really the perfect location with easy access to downtown, major companies in the Sunrise Tech Corridor and Washington Square shopping,” says Peggy Hoag, owner of Hoag Real Estate, who has been working in the Garden Home-Whitford area for over 34 years. “You have leafy, quiet streets here while still being close to downtown and major roads.” A lack of through traffic allows for walkable streets, and most residents live within a half mile of the nearest park. Garden Home-Whitford is in proximity to some of the largest employers in the Portland area, including Nike, Intel and Columbia Sportswear.

Private yards and midcentury architecture
While most houses sit close together on quarter-acre or smaller lots, old-growth trees and dense greenery give the community a private feel. Modern traditional houses, ranch-style homes and midcentury modern builds are common throughout the area, and most were built between the 1940s and early 2000s, with a few brand-new builds throughout. “There are some newer subdivisions where developers have taken old farmhouses on 2-acre properties and turned them into 10 new homes,” Hoag says. Quaint ranch-style homes and fixer-uppers range from $400,000 to around $570,000, while larger, multistory houses and homes with recent renovations can go for $600,000 to $1.4 million. Two- and three-bedroom condos and townhouses range from $360,000 to $515,000.
Condos and custom homes in Garden Home-Whitford real estate ranges from $360K to $1.4M.
Dense trees and classic architecture offer privacy and character in this Garden Home-Whitford suburb.
