Living in Forest Grove

Forest Grove sits at the western edge of the Portland metro, about 25 miles from downtown Portland, where the Tualatin Valley meets the Coast Range foothills. It's home to Pacific University, a historic downtown and wineries just outside town.

Homes range from older houses near downtown to established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the north and west sides, with acreage nearby and prices that often run below cities closer to Portland.
