An active community less than 5 miles west of downtown Lake Oswego
On any given day in Oak Creek, residents enjoy walking their dogs, biking down cul-de-sacs and heading out for daily jogs. “People are just out all the time,” says Teresa Spangler, chair of the Oak Creek Neighborhood Association. Nearby recreational spaces foster an outdoor lifestyle, and restaurants are not far from the community, either. Adding to the appeal is a location less than 10 miles from Portland, large homes and the highly rated Lake Oswego School District. It’s more than these characteristics that attract people here, according to Spangler. “It’s a little throwback, you know?” she says. “Where, literally, some people can walk to school, and they know their neighbors. I don’t think you get that anymore.” With many appeals to the community, “it does attract people from all over,” Spangler says. “It’s not necessarily a bunch of people who grew up in Oregon. That’s another nice thing if you’re not from here.”

Ranch-style homes, custom builds and more
Homes sit on just under a quarter of an acre, flanking quiet, maple-lined streets — some of which feature sidewalks. Most were built in the later decades of the 20th century, reflecting everything from large ranch-style homes to contemporary custom builds. New Traditional designs and bi-level styles are also common in the community. Homes typically sell for anywhere between $600,000 and $1.2 million, depending on their age, size and location. The community also features townhouses built in the early 2000s, which range from $700,000 to upwards of $800,000. Condos typically cost between $280,000 and $325,000. There are monthly HOA fees for townhouses, condos and some single-family homes here. Buyers will find that the community receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 3 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Westlake Park, Oswego Lake Country Club and more
There are no recreational spaces within Oak Creek, but Westlake Park is at the community’s southern border. Here, youth soccer players practice their footwork while tennis players challenge their friends to matches. The park boasts other amenities, including a basketball court and playground. It’s also where Lake Oswego hosts its weekly Wednesday concert series in August. Golfers can join the nearby Oswego Lake Country Club, which offers an 18-hole course complete with pine-heavy surroundings and views of Mt. Hood in the distance. In the summertime, some residents enjoy cooling off at Lake Oswego Swim Park while others explore the lake with their boats. Lake Grove Swim park is another nearby option. Those interested in spending their days hiking can trek along Tryon Creek State Natural Area's wooded and creekside paths.
