Lake Oswego Condos


By Jolynne Ash


February 26th, 2010 ·

As a Buyers Agent I often get calls about Lake Oswego because they have the highest rated school district in the state. Families with children are often willing to make sacrifices to get their children into these schools.  Since homes in Lake Oswego are expensive compared to the rest of the Portland Metro area (Average sales price $486,300), condos and townhouses may be the only option for a less expensive home in Lake Oswego.

The majority of condos are located in Mt. Park. They are large multi-story buildings  built  in the late 70’s and a few have amazing views. Some have pools and recMt. Park Condo centers but not all. These amenities add to the monthly HOA (Homeowner Assoc) dues and may not be worth paying for since Mt. Park as a community, has two pools and a rec center which services the entire area.  Dues for the Mt. Park HOA’s are mandatory and cost about $35-$40 per month. Monthly HOA dues vary from around $230 to $380 per month making HOA’s an important factor in choosing a condo.  Property taxes range from around $1800 to $2400 per year.

Other condos are available around the city and on the lake. There are some impressive new townhomes in downtown Lake Oswego right on the esplanade. These are being offered for sale or a lease/option and are priced just under $400K. This location would allow an owner to do just about everything without the use of a car.Downtown LK O Condo

Condos are available in all sizes from the simple one bedroom (650 SF) to a large three bedroom two bath (1400 SF).  Currently there are a number of condos for sale under $125k. Some of these are short sales so the price may not be obtainable. The majority are priced between $150-$250k. With condo financing becoming increasingly difficult, I expect the condo market to be very soft for the next few years.
