Private, estate-style homes close to neighborhood schools
Forest Highlands is close to both downtown Lake Oswego and exceptionally rated schools, though homes maintain a sense of peace and privacy. The mammoth Tryon Creek State Natural Area insulates backyards on the northeastern side of Forest Highlands, and the entire neighborhood is filled with spacious lots and unique, estate-style homes. “They’re all so different, and every single one features something different,” says Errol Bradley, a broker with Harnish Properties, who has been selling in Lake Oswego for 21 years. “But they are family destination homes where everybody comes to the house at the end of the day.”

Contemporary homes chiseled into Forest Highlands
The average price of a home in Forest Highlands is almost twice as high as the average across the Portland metro area, though each home is different from the next. “There’s no true track homes or neighborhoods,” Bradley says. “You could have five lots in a row with five different types of houses.” Towering evergreen trees and intentionally placed foliage obscure views of split- and single-level homes, as well as raised ranch-style houses. Those that come on third-of-an-acre lots cost between $650,000 and $850,000, while those with more acreage fetch between $1 million and $1.5 million. Ranging from $2.2 million to $3.8 million, more contemporary architecture from the 21st century often features floor-to-ceiling windows, with luxury amenities like attached guest suites, putting greens and saltwater pools. Townhouses with two to three bedrooms go for $460,000 to $500,000.

Red Fox Trailhead leads to Tryon Creek
Woodmont Natural Park is a roughly 7-acre clearing in the middle of the neighborhood, with a half-mile trail that leads to multiple overlooks of the green space. The park, which won two awards from the Oregon chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for its beauty and simplicity, has several attractions, like a walnut tree that's been cored and turned into a play feature, and “Nest,” a semi-circular sculpture made of twigs by local artist Hannes Wingate. The 665-acre Tryon Creek State Natural Area embraces the neighborhood on its northeastern side. One of the outer cul-de-sacs of Forest Highlands contains the Red Fox Trailhead, where moss climbs the evergreen trees and mushrooms bloom along the forest floor. Separated from Portland and downtown Lake Oswego by dense forest, the neighborhood has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, while the national average is 4.

Sports games and pool at Hanko’s Sports Bar
In contrast to the rich architecture scene, the neighborhood’s dining scene is decidedly unfussy. Oswego Towne Square has a New Seasons Market, a Columbia factory store and Flying Pie Pizzeria, a Portland chain known for Old World pizza and draft beer. Nearby, Hanko’s Sports Bar & Grill is a popular place to catch a game over appetizers like nachos or potato skins. The bar’s moody, dimly lit interior has pine green leather booths, shuffleboard and pool tables.
