| West Linn, Oregon is a fast-growing residential city located 12 miles south of Portland. One reason to choose your condominium here is that West Linn has all of the advantages of being close to the urban amenities of Portland while still retaining its original small town charm. Known as the "City of Hills, Trees and Rivers", among West Linn's special assets are its dedicated parks (17 of them) and open spaces, where condo owners and visitors can stroll among Douglas firs and take in panoramic views of the Willamette and Tualatin rivers with Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and the Cascade range as a backdrop.
Water sports abound for the aquatic condominium buyer. Bordered by the Willamette and Tualatin Rivers, West Linn is home to abundant fishing. Kayak, canoe and boating are long a part of regional life here.
Grab your sneakers because a park is never far from the door of your new condominium. Mary S. Young State Park is a favorite of birders, with numerous walking trails and river views. The Camassia Natural Area, owned by the Nature Conservancy, has more than 300 plant species in the preserve, including the common camas. Camas, formerly used as a food source by Pacific Northwest Native Americans, has beautiful blue blooms in April and early May. Birders can find the wood duck, western bluebird, and California quail, as well as other well-known bird species in the natural area.
West Linn's historic Willamette neighborhood is the host of the city's annual West Linn Old Time Fair. Held in July, the three day event includes musical entertainment, good eating, family fun, games, carnival rides, and a custom car show.
Can't decide between a historic neighborhood or an area of new homes? Then West Linn may be the place for you because many of the neighborhoods offer a blend of both. Historic homes are mainly found close to the river. Many West Linn homes built along the river in the 1800s are beyond restoration so people buy the home for the lot, remove the old home, and build a new one alongside an historic home - perhaps built by a river captain or timber baron. An additional 28 homes elsewhere in the City are designated as historic landmark structures. Newer homes and condominiums are concentrated in the hills. These hill homes have all the amenities one could desire plus spectacular views!
