river forest neighborhood The River Forest neighborhood is a peaceful natural watershed paradise. Residents make up a lively and interactive community including an assortment of artists and musicians. Look forward to the series of neighborhood art shows, a 4th of July parade and the Valentine's Day stroll. Several homes have been awarded certification for sustainable landscaping or backyard wildlife habitat. Some homes front on the river or on the private lake. A friendly and welcoming women's potluck group has been meeting monthly for years.Â
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."
