Share Guide

The established residential community of Lake Forest in Lake Oswego, Oregon, lies eight miles south of downtown Portland. Popular apartment rentals include those located in the north of the area close to Interstate 5 that connects Washington to California.

For shopping, drive a few miles outside the area to Bridgeport Village, or the sizeable Washington Square shopping mall with upscale chains, specialty stores, and restaurants. Closer to home, the area south of Boones Ferry Road includes Zupan’s Markets deli and grocery and La Provence Boulangerie and Patisserie, where locals can buy bread and pastries as well as enjoy brunch or dinner. La Provence's smoked salmon benedict is a firm favorite. Another popular dining venue, Oswego Grill, which specializes in grilled fish and meats, lies north of Kruse Way.

If you enjoy outdoor activities, visit Waluga Park West and East for nature trails, walking paths, covered picnic areas, and baseball fields. In warmer summer months, travel westwards to Millennium Plaza Park to enjoy live concerts and visit the weekly Lake Oswego Farmers Market.
