At night the quiet stillness with the darkness of the night sky feels like you are miles outside of civilization, even though you are only a short drive from downtown Portland. A peaceful place. One resident said, "When I first moved here, I noticed that I couldn't rush around anymore. The peace pervaded me. After our first night in our home, I woke up to the sight of a colorful pheasant in our yard, and the sound of nesting blue herons nearby. Once on my daily walk on the River Forest Loop, a Great Blue Heron swooped over the road from the river carrying freshly caught fish to its nest."
