Explore the eight exquisite "build to suit" lots in the distinguished City Lights development located in Portland Heights. Go behind the gates and enjoy unparalleled tranquility and privacy with no through traffic, while still being moments away from downtown attractions. This is a rare opportunity to design a custom residence in one of Portland’s most coveted neighborhoods. Secure your place in this extraordinary enclave today!
Southwest Hills, located between Downtown Portland and Washington Park, is a hillside and residential Portland neighborhood with forested slopes and panoramic city views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SW Vista Ave near the Vista Bridge, where winding lanes, trailheads, and quiet overlooks set the tone. Landmark architecture ranges from mid-century view homes to contemporary builds tucked into steep terrain. Council Crest Park frames the skyline from Portland’s highest public point. Hoyt Arboretum and the Marquam Nature Park trail network shape an outdoors-forward daily rhythm. The Oregon Zoo and Portland Japanese Garden add cultural gravity just beyond the ridgeline.
