Lake Oswego Neighborhood Guide
Lake Grove
Lake Oswego
Lake Oswego’s distinct south-side village, where top-ranked schools, the swim park, and a tree-lined commercial center give the neighborhood its own quiet rhythm.
The Overview
A village within Lake Oswego
Lake Grove anchors the south side of Lake Oswego with a character all its own. Centered on Boones Ferry Road’s tasteful village core and bordered by some of the area’s most coveted streets, it blends established mid-century and craftsman homes with newer custom builds across generous wooded lots.
For buyers, Lake Grove offers two of Lake Oswego’s most-cited draws in one place: access to the Lake Grove Swim Park for eligible residents, and Lake Grove Elementary plus Lakeridge High, two of the highest-performing schools in the state.

THE MARKET
Schools, lake access, and large lots in one neighborhood
