West Hills Real Estate
Neighborhood Overview
Officially know as the Southwest Hills and also known as the Council Crest area, the West Hills neighborhood straddles Portland’s highest peak and features some of the grandest, most luxurious homes in the city. On a clear day, views from many of these opulent estates include the Cascade Mountains, Willamette Valley, downtown Portland and the lush expanse of forest that blankets the hills below.
The far Northeast section of West Hills is known as Portland Heights and, unlike typical West Hills neighborhoods, has its own small commercial district featuring upscale shopping and dining establishments. Read more about real estate in the West Hills.
