River Road Revealed

Posted on by David Columbus

River Road runs along the Willamette River through Milwaukie Heights, Fair Oaks, Oak Grove, Concord and Jennings Lodge neighborhoods approximately parallel to McLoughlin Boulevard providing access to lovely river’s edge neighborhoods, stunning parks and other local gems. River Road is also host to many lovely Retirement Communities and Senior Living Homes.

River Road Destinations:

Spring Park Natural Area – Nestled next to the Willamette River, Spring Park Natural Area is a hidden gem in a quiet residential neighborhood in Milwaukie. Entering the park, you’ll find a small playground, picnic benches and bike racks and art features. A path of compacted crushed rock, boardwalk and overlook area provide visitors access to the surrounding wetlands, without endangering sensitive habitat and wildlife areas.

Elk Rock Island – Milwaukie took ownership of Elk Rock Island from the City of Portland in April 2016, adding 13.6 acres of natural area to the community. It contains seven distinct habitats, including vernal pools, which are home to many amphibians and other forms of aquatic life. More than 50 rare and unique plant species can also be found on the island. (see featured image, photo credit City of Milwaukie)

Under the Oak Tree

Posted on by Robin Hakeman

 

“I feel at home under the oak tree,

Centuries old and standing tall.

And when I’m gone after a lifetime

The oak tree will remember my song. “

–Haley Johnsen

When Haley & Erik set out to buy their first home, they never imagined they would get so lucky. They happened upon an open house in Milwaukie & decided to check it out. Immediately the colorful interior, spacious yard with the 200 year old oak tree and layout of the home felt right to them. With their ducks in a row, we were set to write an offer.

As first time buyers, Haley & Erik needed to make their offer stand out to the seller. I learned from the listing agent that that oak tree was extremely special to the seller & Haley & Erik felt connected to it as well. So what do you do when you are an amazing musician and you really want a house? You write a song about it!! Haley’s song can be heard here – and let’s just say the seller was in tears.

It was so special for me to lead Haley & Erik through this process. Not only are they amazing to work with – they are family. Congratulations Haley, Erik & Gifford!!! You did it!!!

Is this Lake Tahoe? Nope, its Milwaukie!

Posted on by Julia Robertson

Is this Lake Tahoe? Nope, its Milwaukie! You’d be surprised how similar the feeling is driving up to this 1920’s A-frame bungalow in Oak Grove. As you’re driving down the street you catch a glimpse of the Willamette River and feel the crisp air, surrounded by mature evergreens. This craftsman style bungalow has a huge covered porch, carefully crafted rock chimney, and southwest facing deck for a day full of sun. The best part of this house is that the primary living area is on one level. One level living and a bay window seat for the kittens to sun bathe. The plan was to find land to build and she found house plans for a bungalow she loved- but sometimes the stars align and a home with all the right things comes into sight. Instead of starting from scratch, you can find good bones and make it your own. You can feel it when it’s the right move. She has a love for vintage homes and many ideas for this great house. I can’t wait to see it come together!

Congratulations Iris! It is THE BEST to see a friend so excited about finding the right home. I am grateful to have been part of this adventure with you. Enjoy your coffee on your very own covered porch:-) Cheers! #lovewhereyoulive
