Nestled on the cusp of the Tualatin Mountains, the Forest Park community is a beautiful and rural setting close to modern conveniences. Its namesake park stretches more than eight miles and overlooks the Willamette River. Visitors to the area enjoy the park because it provides them respite from urban life; it’s one of the country’s largest urban forests and has 150+ animal species living there.

Residents and visitors of the park enjoy its 70 miles of trails – yes, you heard the correctly. On the trails, be sure to look out for the steep mountain vistas, unique wildlife, and the old stone house ruins. Residents are comforted by their close proximity to downtown’s Portland State University, brewpubs, gourmet restaurants, and shopping destinations like Pioneer Mall and the Portland Saturday Market.
