Lake Oswego

The upscale city of Lake Oswego centers around a private, city-owned lake of the same name. The meandering, narrow streets and picturesque views of the lake and the Willamette River make Lake Oswego a desirable place to live. Downtown Lake Oswego is comprised of a mix of restaurants, charming shops and offices. The arts are very important to the citizens of Lake Oswego as shown to their dedication to establishing and supporting the Lakewood Center for the Arts, a non-profit community cultural center that sponsors visual arts, theatre, and community events.
