Robinwood
Suburban Neighborhood in West Linn, Oregon
Clackamas County 97034, 97068
Ranch-styles, bungalows and million-dollar riverfront properties are selling fast
Surrounding the Robinwood Station Community Center is a collection of two- and three-bedroom ranch-style homes and bungalows built in the 1940s and 1950s. According to Kathy Flintjer, a licensed real estate agent with the Robbins Realty Group and a Robinwood resident for the past few years, these older homes are one of Robinwood's biggest draws due to their large lot sizes, generally half an acre or more. Prices range from around $600,000 to upwards of $800,000. Due to the proximity of the Willamette River, it’s not uncommon to see boats parked in driveways, and mature trees offer plenty of shade. Prospective buyers will also find larger, traditional-style homes with grand covered porticos, stone finishings and three-car garages as well as geometric contemporary properties with water views. Price points can easily surpass $1 million in Robinwood, and average sales fall around $960,000. "The word's out about West Linn," adds Flintjer, pointing to the fact that homes here sell faster than the national average.Playgrounds, dog parks and walking across the Willamette
Within the neighborhood, Robinwood and Midhill Park both offer playground equipment and athletic fields — at Robinwood Park, residents also enjoy spray fountains during the warmer months. To the south is the much larger Mary S. Young Park, which spans nearly 130 acres and includes several miles of walking trails and an area where dogs can play off-leash. Residents launch their boats from the Cedaroak Boat Ramp or walk over the floating bridge (open during the Spring, Summer and Fall) to Cedar Island, a U-shaped 14-acre landmass home to wildlife trails and fishing platforms.There’s also the Friends of Robinwood Station (aka “City Hall”). When the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue department shut down, "A group of us got together to make it a community center," Fastabend says. In 2010, Friends of Robinwood Station registered as a nonprofit, and it’s been a popular gathering place ever since.
College credit and wrestling at West Linn High School
As Flintjer is also quick to point out, West Linn (and Robinwood as a result) is known for its highly-ranked public school system. Students can attend Cedaroak Park Primary School, which received an A-minus from the educational review site, Niche, before heading to Lakeridge Middle and West Linn High, which both earned As. Through the connections program at West Linn High School, students can enroll in classes at Clackamas Community College (CCC) while still in high school, earning simultaneous high school and college credit at a discounted rate. The West Linn Lions varsity wrestling team is no stranger to championships, and they’ve ventured to the Memorial Coliseum in Portland to compete on a state-wide stage.Lewis & Clark College, a private liberal arts school established well over 150 years ago, is a 15-minute drive from Robinwood on the way to Portland. It has a student population of approximately 2,200, and the public can attend on-campus lectures, orchestra performances and art shows during the academic year.
Live theater at Lakewood Center for the Arts, an outdoor elevator and summer street markets
Pick up tickets to watch a musical at The Lakewood Center for the Arts, which also hosts youth and adult acting, improv and dance classes. Just across the river is the Oregon City Municipal Elevator, the only outdoor municipal elevator in the U.S. and part of the National Register of Historic Places; note: it’s free to ride and looks like something out of an alien invasion movie. To the south, the Historic Willamette Business District plays host to a regular calendar of events including the Wednesdays in Willamette Summer Street Market beginning in May. 65 vendors set up shop each week, and locals are treated to live music along with fresh produce. In July, watch the Old Time Fair Parade pass by on Willamette Falls Drive. The street also shuts down for community celebrations on St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo.Of course, there are always more opportunities in Portland approximately 10 miles — or 25 minutes depending on traffic — north. Favorite stops in and around the city include the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Zoo and the Portland Japanese Gardens. A-list comedians and touring Broadway shows also make frequent pit stops at the Keller Auditorium.
TriMet buses, Union Station, Portland International and nearby medical care
Robinwood is a car-dependent neighborhood, but some residents like to take advantage of the TriMet bus system. Bus 35 stops along Willamette Drive, and Robinwood marks a midway point between Oregon City and Portland. From Portland’s Union Station, residents can make use of the MAX Light Rail system or book Amtrak tickets aboard the Empire Builder, Coast Starlight or Amtrak Cascades trains. Portland International Airport, meanwhile, offers more than 60 nonstop destinations.Residents can access medical care at the Willamette Falls Medical Center, a not-for-profit acute care facility 5 miles from the neighborhood. There’s also Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center in Tualatin. Not only does it have a 24-hour emergency room and a laboratory for sleep disorders, but it’s also Tualatin’s second-largest employer.
Willamette Drive retail, Oregon City cafes and Historic Willamette Main Street
Shopping in Robinwood is easily taken care of along Willamette Drive, which runs diagonally through the neighborhood. The street is lined with restaurants like Bugatti's Ristorante, a local chain known for its relaxed atmosphere and hand-made pasta. There’s also Soku Sushi & Noodle, where locals can pick up orders of “Green Life” asparagus and avocado rolls, xiao long bao or Taiwan beef brisket noodle soup. For groceries, head to Walmart Neighborhood Market nearby or drive north to the Whole Foods in Lake Oswego. Just 3 miles away across the river, Oregon City has a collection of rustic riverside pubs and cafes like Black Ink Coffee, located inside White Rabbit Books and Gifts. Others enjoy heading out to eat or exploring the 1920s-era storefronts on Historic Willamette Main Street, approximately 5 miles from Robinwood. During the summer, residents eat outside, people-watching from small cafe tables.
