Lake Oswego

Pristine community of Lake Oswego in about 20 minutes of scenic driving.

Welcome to Lake Oswego

A lakeside oasis with sophisticated downtown amenities.
 
Following the Willamette River south from Portland will take you to the pristine community of Lake Oswego in about 20 minutes of scenic driving. This elite community was once a town of lumber yards, iron smelters, and homesteaders. In some ways, the historic Lake Oswego is a throwback to that bygone era.
 
Though nearly 42,000 people now call Lake Oswego home, it feels serene. Many residents live in beautiful homes within neighborhood clusters in the hills and many lakeside estates. Either by car, bicycle, or on foot, it doesn’t take long to get to the idyllic downtown and its eateries, shops, and activity.
 
Lake Oswego enjoys typical Pacific Northwest weather. The winters last slightly over three months but never get brutal. Summers last from about the middle of June to the middle of September. During its warmest month, August, temperatures in Lake Oswego typically max out at 85 degrees.
