WHY CHOOSE A LOCAL FOREST GROVE REALTOR?

Deep Community Roots

As a Forest Grove realtor who's lived here for 10 years and worked in Oregon real estate for over two decades, I know this market inside and out. I'm actively involved with the Friends of Historic Forest Grove Society, Fernhill Wetlands, and the Cornelius Visionary Committee.

Beyond What You'll Find on Zillow Forest Grove

While sites like Zillow Forest Grove show you listings, they can't tell you about neighborhood character, upcoming developments, or which streets have the best trick-or-treating. That local insight comes from working with an experienced & caring Forest Grove realtor.

Premier Properties Partnership

As a Forest Grove real estate agent with Premier Properties, I have access to exclusive resources, professional networks, and market data that help my clients get the best deals in today's competitive market.

Popular Places to Live in and Around Forest Grove

Downtown Forest Grove
This is the heart of the city. Old buildings, tree-lined streets, and a mix of shops, restaurants, and Pacific University make it one of the most walkable areas. A good spot if you want a little more energy and easy access to everything.

Forest Gale Heights
A quiet neighborhood with newer homes and bigger lots. Families like it because it feels suburban without being far from town.

Painter’s Woods Historic District
One of Forest Grove’s older neighborhoods. Most of the homes were built between the late 1800s and mid-1900s. The streets have big trees, and the homes have a lot of character.

Clark Historic District
Just south of downtown, with a mix of Victorian, Craftsman, and bungalow-style homes. It’s close to the shops but feels more residential.

Walker-Naylor Historic District
West of Pacific University. Craftsman and Colonial Revival homes are common here. It’s close to both campus and downtown, so it appeals to people who like being near everything.

Near Pacific University
Houses around the university tend to do well as rentals, but they also work for first-time buyers who want something affordable and central.

Wilkesboro
A quieter area on the north side of Forest Grove. Homes tend to be a little larger and pricier, with more space between neighbors.

Carnation
East side of town. It’s a little more tucked away, with bigger lots and a slower pace.

East Forest Grove
This part of town is still growing. Homes are often newer or more affordable, so it’s a common choice for first-time buyers.

Nearby Towns People also Consider

Cornelius
Right next to Forest Grove. It’s growing fast, with a mix of new neighborhoods and older homes. Prices are usually a little lower than Forest Grove.

Banks
A small town on the edge of the Tualatin Valley. It’s popular with people who want more space or like being close to the Banks-Vernonia Trail for biking and hiking.

Vernonia
A little farther out, in the Coast Range. It’s a quiet logging town with a small downtown, rivers, and forest all around. Some people move here for the slower pace and the scenery.

Gales Creek, Dilley, and Verboort
Small rural spots outside Forest Grove. These areas are mostly houses on larger lots or farmland. People like them if they want space and quiet but still want to be within 10–15 minutes of town.

ABOUT CILICIA

Your Forest Grove Realtor

After 20+ years in real estate, I've learned that buying or selling a home is about so much more than square footage and price per square foot.

It's about where your kids will grow up, where you'll host holidays, or starting your next adventure.

That's why I approach every transaction as your facilitator and matchmaker, not your salesperson. I genuinely care about finding you the right fit - whether that takes two weeks or two months or longer.

My clients tell me they appreciate having someone who actually listens and puts their interests first. That's not just good business to me - it's the right way to help people with their biggest life decisions.
