The Southwest neighborhood is located in what is popularly known as the "West Hills" in Portland. The hilly terrain and lush nature parks in this area create stunning views from many of the homes. Depending on which area you are in, you may have a panoramic view of downtown Portland, and on a clear day it is possible to see Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Saint Helens in the distance. Homes are typically larger custom designs built over years in many different architectural styles from Ranches, two-story Traditionals, Colonial, Craftsman, Contemporary, and even the occasional Victorian. Many of the homes are built on the side of the hill and are cantilevered over the forest floor below. As many of the streets in this area wind through the tree-lined forest, this makes the West Hills an interesting place to drive, and a serene and beautiful place to live.
