West Linn, Oregon, located 12 miles south of Portland, bordered by the Willamette and Tualatin Rivers and Mary S. Young State Park, provides the beauty of nature everywhere you look. In fact, the town was originally known as "Robin's Nest" because of the fabulous view of Willamette Falls. The town survived its rough and tumble beginnings, eventually becoming incorporated in 1913, under the current name. West Linn is now considered one of the more prosperous Portland Suburbs, with a current population estimated at just under 25,000. Your West Linn real estate agents will gladly show you homes that range from multi-million dollar estates to more modest homes for beginning families. Homes for sale in West Linn, Oregon all come complete with the prestige granted by a West Linn address.

The adjacent state park provides West Linn residents with numerous outdoor activities, hiking, spectacular river views, a walking bridge to Cedar Island and some of the best bird watching in the Pacific Northwest.  A nearby natural area owned and maintained by the Nature Conservancy, provides even more opportunities to view native wildlife in an unspoiled and serene setting.

The Willamette district is home to the most his

toric section of West Linn. Homes that echo turn of the century Victorian charm, with hand-crafted workmanship not found in today's construction techniques abound. Charming shops and restaurants nearby, offer the opportunity to take a stroll down tree lined streets, rather than a hectic drive through congested traffic to complete your shopping or to meet friends for dinner. The district is also home to West Linn's annual Old Time Fair. The three day spectacular features entertainment, food, family games and carnival rides, just like the old days, but in a family friendly environment.

One of the treasures of West Linn is the McLean home and park. The home consists of 17 rooms and three stories, built at the height of the "Roaring Twenties", situated on a bluff overlooking the Willamette River. The home is in the process of being restored gradually to its original grandeur, and is available for rent for public and private functions. The grounds surrounding the home are beautifully landscaped, and the original owner's rose garden is still maintained and is as lovely as ever. Giant sequoia trees also grace the grounds, casting their imposing shadows over visitors.  The McLean home truly turns back the clock to a simpler time, just as the friendly and comfortable atmosphere of West Linn real estate Oregon does.
