Everyone should live in a small, rich enclave with good schools and intact families and services. Would recommend 10/10

Californians here, we are currently driving around the lake and looking at neighborhoods. Starting to consider places to settle down somewhere. Kid in college and we want somewhere to wind down as empty nesters. This is a great video. Love your channel.

I'm glad you enjoy it! Lake Oswego and the surrounding area is popular with empty nesters. Everything is right here, very easy living. I'm here if you get more serious and have questions. [e-mail]

God bless you guys for your channel. I’m 25 moving to Portland (God willing) in July. I visited there twice last year and fell in love. Although I’m looking for an apartment and I’m single; the videos you guys create have helped me so much. You guys articulate things beautifully. Thank you again❤️

[@movingtoportlandoregon]

So glad it's been helpful! Best of luck with your move in July! I'm sure you will love it here!

It's always great to watch your videos. Very informative especially as regards Lake Oswego and the weather. I think you're right about needing a winter break to a warmer climate if you live in the Northwest. I've lived in California most of my life (but spent most of the 90s in Portland) and I would not describe myself as a "summer person," but I really came to love summer in Portland - it's really different in a four seasons sort of climate. You appreciate it more as opposed to a place like LA where it can be "summer year 'round" a lot of years.

Interesting to hear your experience. We have kids the same age and moved here a few years ago. I’ve studied urban planning and have lived in many cities (Seattle, Columbus, small town Ohio, Vancouver, Paris, New York) and Portland is my favorite. The layout, the scale, the culture, the thoughtful, detailed, quality of life touches… anyone writing off the area is really short-sighted. Huge fan. I NY I had to walk 20 minutes to even reach the subway stop. In Seattle my commute was 45 minutes each way. Here it’s a leisurely 20 minute e-bike ride to work downtown on the Springwater Corridor. Just one area of comparison.
Be prepared for comments pointing out that LO is not really Portland, though.

Thanks Grant! Appreciate you sharing your experiences. I concur with the city layout, love living here. Cool to hear it from a urban planning guy!

Well, you didn't actually move to Portland if you live in Lake Oswego. Most people can't afford to live in LakeO. It's an upscale community, but you can talk about the weather.

[@movingtoportlandoregon]

Hi PJ, Lake Oswego is part of the Portland Metro but I'm sure you already know that 😉 Hope you are having a great day!

[@surferdude44444]

Sorry, but this is a five year review of living in Lake Oswego which is a “night and day” difference than living in Portland. You point out why you chose LO when you moved from SoCal, but you never said why you didn’t like Tigard, Beaverton, NE Portland, SE Portland, Gresham or Vancouver.
LO might be in the greater Portland metro area from a semantic standpoint, but you should never put Portland and Lake Oswego in the same sentence.

[@movingtoportlandoregon]

Surfs UP! Hey I think we disagree on how to classify my experience living in Portland. This would be an insanely long video if I talked about every neighborhood and town in the greater portland area. Just not enough time BUT I do have lots of other videos about many of those areas you pointed out. As you know we can only live in one place at any given time so I personally chose LO. There are many neighborhoods in NE and SE Portland I would be happy in as well like Alameda, Laurelhurst or Ladds Addition.

Portland proper is mostly a shithole
LO is for vip’s Jaja

[@normanchan2001]

Portland is great. The rain sucks!
