Find Your Sanctuary Surrounded by Nature

Tucked away in Southwest Portland, Collins View is a quiet, forested neighborhood that feels worlds away from city life while still being just 14 minutes from downtown. With spacious lots, winding roads, and a mix of mid-century homes, Craftsman bungalows, 1930s cottages, and modern contemporary designs, the area attracts those looking for a peaceful retreat in nature. Towering trees and lush greenery define the landscape, giving homes a sense of privacy and seclusion. Residents love the slower pace of life here, where walking trails and green spaces are just steps away.

One of Collins View’s standout features is its access to Tryon Creek State Natural Area, a beloved destination for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The neighborhood is also home to Lewis & Clark College, which brings cultural events, lectures, and performances to the community. The River View Natural Area provides another scenic escape, with quiet pathways perfect for a reflective morning walk or an afternoon exploring the local wildlife. History lovers can visit the River View Cemetery, a peaceful spot with sweeping views and connections to Portland’s past. Collins View is also conveniently located near Dunthorpe, an exclusive neighborhood known for its estate-style homes and proximity to the Riverdale School District, one of the most highly regarded in the region.

While Collins View is known for its tranquil atmosphere, it remains well-connected. Major roads like Terwilliger Boulevard and Taylors Ferry Road provide quick routes into the city, and neighboring communities like South Burlingame, Hillsdale, and Markham offer additional dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Though the neighborhood has a lower Walk Score, its natural beauty, variety of home styles, and strong sense of community make it a place where people put down roots and stay for years.
