Dunthorpe
Multi-million-dollar homes on spacious lots
The homes in Dunthorpe stand on sizeable lots, many of them offering ample yard space, and a sense of seclusion despite being relatively close to the city center of Portland. This neighborhood notably leans towards residential developments, while commercial establishments are less common. A renovated 2,500-square-foot mid-century ranch in the neighborhood can go for around $1.5 million, a 3,500-square-foot Colonial Revival-style home can go for $2 million, while more spacious 5,000-plus square-foot estates and modern mansions typically sell for $3 million to $4 million.Wooded trails and Willamette River views
When locals want to get outside, they have a wealth of options to choose from. River View Natural Area and Tryon Creek State Natural Area are home to miles of scenic woodland trails, providing a secluded respite from their suburban surroundings. Another notable green space is Elk Rock Garden, a traditional English Garden overseen by the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon which is typically open to the public and offers carefully manicured trails and native flora, along with majestic cliffside views of the Willamette River.International cuisine and unique local businesses near Dunthorpe
As for shopping, while there are no retailers in Dunthorpe itself, neighboring Lake Oswego’s lively downtown is less than five minutes away by car and is home to both a Safeway and Whole Foods, along with an assortment of local shops ranging from City Home Furniture to popular used book shop Booktique. Dining opportunities, similar to shopping, are easier to find in the neighborhoods around Dunthorpe. Lake Oswego features a variety of highly rated restaurants, ranging from the authentic tacos at Taqueria La Marquessa to the Japanese cuisine at Kurata. Portland’s Burlingame neighborhood, just north of Dunthorpe, also has a lively dining scene.Highly rated public schools and scenic college campuses
Dunthorpe’s public schools are among the strongest in the Greater Portland area, at least in terms of publicly available metrics. Younger students can expect to attend highly rated institutions like Riverdale K-8 School, which has a rare 10 out of 10 rating on GreatSchools, while older students in the area generally attend Riverdale High, which has an A grade on Niche.Lewis and Clark College is also an important part of the neighborhood. While the selective liberal arts school’s students rarely venture into the rest of the neighborhood, many Dunthorpe residents frequently go for walks through its scenic campus, which is frequently listed among the most beautiful in the US. The college also regularly hosts public events, from theater productions to speaker series.
Driving to downtown Portland
When it comes to getting around the city, Dunthorpe is just a fifteen-minute drive from both Downtown Portland and the southern suburbs of Metzger and Tigard, and twenty-five minutes from Beaverton and Portland International Airport.Quiet streets without sacrificing city access
Dunthorpe offers its inhabitants expansive homes, great schools and impressive outdoor opportunities. And while they may have to head a short way outside the neighborhood for shopping and dining, for many residents this is a feature rather than a bug. The neighborhood provides those who live there an attractive, low-key oasis where they get away from the bustle of the city without leaving it behind entirely.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
