West Linn is located 15 miles south of Portland's city center and hugs the west side of the Willamette River. It is just 20 minutes from the Portland International Airport. Access to Portland is via Highway 43 (Willamette Drive) and Interstate 205. Called the "City of Hills, Trees and Rivers," West Linn could also be called a city of neighborhoods – from the historic Willamette district with its pioneer-era dwellings to the contemporary architecture of newer settlements nestled in wooded highlands. Most of these new settlements are made up of elegant, unique luxury homes on large properties.
Among its special assets are West Linn Oregon’s dedicated parks and open spaces. Some of Oregon’s best real estate lies among the city’s Douglas firs, panoramic views of the Willamette and Tualatin rivers, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and the Cascade range backdrop. West Linn's residents are among the best educated in Oregon, and earn incomes well above the state average, making the city a center for many luxury homes and high quality real estate.
While the average household size is 2.72, a large number of people chose West Linn properties to build their luxury home because of the West Linn-Wilsonville school district’s dedication to outstanding education. West Linn students achieve high levels of knowledge, skill, and understanding through meaningful inquiry in all disciplines by engaging in research, in the study of significant ideas and developing skills for thought and action in the world. Additionally, the state funding allocation is $5,319.00 per student for the highest technology available to assist in learning.
Inside the real estate-rich city there are 11 neighborhood associations that all receive support from the City of West Linn. They serve as a voice for neighborhood interests and concerns, improve communications between the city and its residents and promote neighborhood and community identity.
