Forest Park Homes for Sale

The Forest Park neighborhood lies adjacent to our famous and beloved Forest Park, and on the southern end actually incorporates it into the neighborhood boundary. On a map it appears to suggest a covetousness, which would be understandable; who wouldn’t want such a vast and beautiful woodland for his or her very own? Its proximity to the park and the fact that its residents’ homes seem nearly always to peek at passers-by from the surrounding veil of trees lends it a rustic quality. If you’d never traveled the Portland area, you wouldn’t suspect that the city was only minutes away.

Forest Park is not only a defined Portland neighborhood, but an urban city park as well. The park itself is truly a slice of lush green heaven. 5,155.75 acres sit smack dab in the middle of Portland. Popular for its many foot and bike trails, equestrian trails and intoxicating natural beauty, the park is a destination spot for many locals looking to relax, exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Residents can walk or bike to close-by northwest neighborhoods and downtown Portland. Forest Park neighbors many major Portland attractions such as the Oregon Zoo, the Forestry Center, the Children’s Museum, the Japanese Gardens, the Rose Gardens, the Vietnam and Holocaust Memorials.

Down the hill, you’ll find the Bethany shopping plaza for dining and shopping options. Just a little further on, you’ll find the hip and popular Nob Hill neighborhood. The close proximity to downtown and other popular neighborhoods makes Forest Park a highly coveted area. Live in the forest and be minutes from the city– sounds pretty good, huh? Nob Hill is equipped with all the urban amenities one could ever wish for– great restaurants, shops, food markets, tons of coffee shops– you name it, Nob Hill has it.
