A rural atmosphere and easy freeway access in North Plains
North Plains is around 18 miles west of downtown Portland, a quaint, rural community known for its tight-knit community and small-town charm. The town has quiet streets surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, while U.S. Route 26 provides a direct route to downtown in less than 30 minutes. “You have high value, rural properties in North Plains, but you’re close to the freeway so it’s easy to reach nearby commercial areas and large employers,” says Jason Merritt, a North Plains resident and real estate agent with HomeSmart Realty Group. “A lot of people that live here commute to Portland for work or the Intel campus in Hillsboro.”
Rows of well-maintained ranch-style homes reflect the town’s charm.

New developments meet established homes
The population continues to increase with brand new homes on the north side of town and continued development. South of North Avenue, ranch-style homes, bungalows and modern traditional builds were largely built between the mid 20th century and the early 2000s, with some dating back to the 1920s and ‘30s. Quarter-acre properties are dotted with mature pine and oak trees, and fenced-in backyards are common throughout town. “It’s a quiet and safe community,” says Merritt. “People enjoy the rural setting and being away from downtown while still within a short drive.”
Move-in-ready, ranch-style homes, bungalows and craftsman-style builds range from $425,000 to $675,000. Brand new craftsman and modern-traditional homes can be found in the Brynhill and Sunset Ridge neighborhoods, with prices ranging from $500,000 to $800,000. Manufactured homes sell from $300,000 to $400,000.

Town parks and annual events in North Plains
There are a handful of public greenspaces in North Plains, including Jessie Mays Community Park, which has open field space, a playground and facilities for tennis, basketball and baseball. The Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club features two 18-hole courses and has played host to victories by golf legends such as Tiger Woods and Nancy Lopez. Henry Hagg Lake is around 20 miles southwest of the community and has boat launches, hiking trails and popular fishing spots.
Murals bring color to North Plains’ downtown district, while community programs and annual events bring locals together. “There are tons of events put on by the town,” Merritt says. “Most people learn about events coming up by a big banner stretched across the street, whether it's a holiday celebration or an ice cream social.” The Elephant Garlic Festival spans three days during the second weekend of August each year with food and craft vendors, a parade, live music and a reptile show. Other annual events include a city-wide garage sale, an Independence Day celebration and a strawberry shortcake feast.
