Evergreen
Suburban Neighborhood in Lake Oswego, Oregon
Clackamas County 97034, 97219
Lakefront cabanas and multi-family townhouses
The real estate market in Evergreen is competitive because of its lakefront lifestyle and proximity to urban amenities. “Evergreen is a very desirable neighborhood because of its central location,” says Sara Plestina Lewis, Principal Broker at Windermere Realty Trust. “It’s walkable to downtown Lake Oswego, and most lots have easements to Oswego Lake.” Most homes were constructed in the 1950s, resulting in ramblers and bungalows common of the era. Newly constructed contemporary styles are also available. With a median sales price of $1.2 Million, homes here are priced $700,000 more than the average property in the Portland Metro Area. For example, established single family homes range from the mid $700,000s for a ranch-style fixer-upper to upwards of $3.6 Million for a contemporary home with updated amenities along Lakewood Bay. Homes bordering Oswego Lake are often equipped with guest houses or pillared “cabanas” set away from the primary home with immediate access to boat garages and lakefront patios. Single-family homes dominate the area; however, townhouses are also available, ranging from the mid $300,000 to upwards of $1.4 Million with lakefront views. Homes often feature multi-car garages and are fronted by mid-sized yards with stone walkways and shrubbery or fencing for added seclusion from neighbors. “It’s forested with lovely fir trees,” says Newton. “Evergreen is heavily nature-oriented and will protect these trees whenever possible.” Streets are narrow and tree-lined, with paved sidewalks for increased safety and navigation throughout the community.

Local greenery and watersport activities on Oswego Lake
Rossman Park is within steps of many homes. It acts as a centralized gathering space for neighbors with a playground, basketball hoop and a shaded picnic area for outdoor dining.

The Lakewood Bay Community Club is located within the neighborhood, with 14 boat slips, eight canoe racks and immediate access to Lakewood Bay. Locals set onto the water with canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and powerboats. The private Oswego Lake Country Club is located a mile west. Established in 1924, this long-standing club offers an 18-hole course and amenities like a clubhouse, pool and on-site gourmet dining. The public Eagle Landing Golf Course has a 27-hole course for golfers of all skill levels just 10 miles east.
