A suburb on the West Linn hills
A West Linn suburb with a hilly landscape, Barrington Heights comes from humble beginnings. “When I was a little girl, I used to ride up the hill with my father so he could talk to the farmer at the top,” says Molly Macom, lifetime local and Broker at Westlake Properties with almost 4 decades of experience in the area. “That was Barrington Heights,” Today, the hill remains, but the area has become one of West Linn's most exclusive neighborhoods and home to a collection of million-dollar houses on a hillside just 25 minutes from Portland International Airport. With a top-rated school system and a retail section just outside of the sidewalks and wide suburban streets, it’s a desirable place to call home.

Climbing from colonials to chateaus
The residential pocket of Barrington Heights includes secluded properties, the smallest being around 3,000 square feet, and has an understandingly low inventory. When they’re available, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals resting on the lower end of the neighborhood might start around $700,000, and as the elevation rises, so do the prices. Modern stone manors with French and Federal architectural influences, some with wrought-iron gates in the front and spacious patios around the back, can cost upwards of $1.5 million. On the top of the hill in gated communities are 8,000- to 10,000-square-foot chateau and custom properties for $3 million and up.

Running errands at Cascade Summit
While Barrington Heights is strictly residential, the commercial area is a quick drive down Salamo Road. “One of the main selling points is the easy access to other parts of the Portland Metropolitan Area.
