Tower Vista
Suburban Neighborhood in Oregon City, Oregon
Clackamas County 97045
Foursquares and bungalows on larger lots
Homes sit on medium-sized lots with enough room for small yard accents and a couple of cars in the driveway or garage. Bright red maple trees and gray cluster box units dot Tower Vista's sidewalks and offer a splash of color to its muted palette. There is just enough room for visiting friends and family to street park. “It’s a good area, especially for resale, because the lot sizes are larger,” says Principal Broker Connie Dalton of Better Homes and Gardens Realty Partners, with more than 20 years’ experience. “The homes are typically older, from the 1980s and 1990s, and even some ranch-styles from the 2000s.” Foursquares and bungalows are the most prevalent home styles, usually two stories tall with three or four bedrooms. Pricing typically ranges from $520,000 to $720,000.

Multiple parks to explore
“The parks are excellent. There’re a couple really good ones for the kids,” says Dalton. Tower Vista borders the 18.5-acre Chapin Park. Friends and families can rent the picnic shelter with six tables and a grill for that next group gathering. Pavilions offer shade on the sunniest of days. Kids can play tag in the park’s open field or navigate the jungle gym. Three baseball diamonds sit attached to the park for Little League players to have a game. Wesley Lynn Park has a more expansive jungle gym for kids to explore. It also features two baseball diamonds, should Chapin Park’s fields be reserved already.Getting the grade
Students in Tower Vista can attend Gaffney Lane Elementary, rated C-plus by Niche. Gardiner Middle earns a C grade overall and provides an opportunity for students to enjoy some winter skiing. The Ski Bus program offers four set dates for students to hit the slopes of Mt. Hood. Oregon City Senior High rounds out the list with a B-minus and unique equestrian, snowboarding and bowling athletic programs.Things to do in Tower Vista
Locals and visitors have plenty of events to explore in Oregon City. February brings the Lunar New Year Celebration at the Pioneer Community Center, a time for cultural appreciation and crafts for kids. In addition to food and games, the event hosts a live performance by Lee’s Dragon Dancers. Another excellent winter event is the Glow Swim, held monthly at the Oregon City Swimming Pool. Disco lights illuminate from overhead, while more colorful lights shine through the water from underneath. Kids are welcome to swim but must be accompanied by an adult.Using the TriMet
Oregon City is a short, 3-mile drive north. Driving is the ideal mode of transportation in Tower Vista, but when not feasible, the TriMet bus line runs from Warner Milne Road into town. There are ten stops along the way, and residents must walk to reach its initial stop.A quick bite in Tower Vista
Several restaurants are just a couple minutes down the road in Tower Vista. Don Chuy is a Mexican restaurant serving classic entrees for both lunch and breakfast. Pure Bliss Bakery and Café is another local favorite that offers pastries and coffee for those in a hurry. A short drive east down Warner Milne Road lands locals at the Hilltop Mall, a strip of shops and studios. Folks can stop in for a slice at Papa Murphy’s Pizza or even adopt a new furry friend from the Animal House Pet Shop.
