Old Town is the riverside pocket of Lake Oswego where the city’s iron-era roots meet easy, in-town living. Morning jogs drift past the restored furnace and sandy beach at George Rogers Park, while sunsets spread across the broad lawn at Foothills Park. Weekends bring trolley bells from the Willamette Shore Trolley and strolls to downtown boutiques, cafes, and the Lake Oswego Public Library. History buffs can dig deeper at the Oswego Heritage House & Museum, and nature lovers find miles of shaded trails minutes away at Tryon Creek State Natural Area. Commuters appreciate the straight-shot into Portland, yet life here feels distinctly small-town and close to the water.
Families value strong public schools through the Lake Oswego School District, with neighborhood streets feeding to Hallinan Elementary, Lake Oswego Junior High, and Lake Oswego High. Community rhythms revolve around riverfront recreation, Saturday errands at the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market, and block-by-block connections with nearby First Addition. Homes range from vintage cottages and view condos to thoughtfully updated residences, many with front porches made for neighborly chats.
