Featured Property
16232 Bonaire Ave
I am super excited to introduce you to my new listing in the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego. Here are the stats:
Built in 1961 with a master suite addition that was added in 1985
4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, the house has a greatroom floorplan and is 1792 square feet.
This house is all on 1 level.
Now here is the highlight and most outstanding feature: this house sits on a HUGE lot that is 75′ wide and 262′ deep. You have space, space, and more space. There is even a horse shoe pit. The lot is not dividable, but rather meant to be enjoyed as a wonderful yard. It is fully fenced.
The price of $279,900 reflects the fact that this house needs work. It still has the original kitchen and baths. It has been a rental for over 20 years and it is just well worn. There are still some single-pane windows, although the gas furnace is just 10 years old.
Let me know if you have questions or would like to make an appointment to see the interior. I’d love to show you this home.

Lake Easements
When buying a home in Lake Oswego, you’ll often see mention of easements as a feature of the property. Just what is an easement? Don’t all of the houses in Lake Oswego have easements?
The history of the lake easements go back many years. There was a time, in the early development of neighborhoods in Lake Oswego, when vacant lots were available for purchase on the lake. Developers of neighborhoods would buy a lot and deed it to the entire neighborhood. These “easements” are part of the recorded deeds for these homes and primarily consist of homes built between 1920 and 1970. By the time that the newer neighborhoods were being developed, houses from about 1970 and newer, there were no longer vacant lots on the lake and so easements were no longer being created. So, no, not all houses in Lake Oswego have easements. Having an easement is a special feature of the home that does enhance its desirability to buyers.
What I am discussing here are lake easements, and not the swim parks. Lake Oswego has two swim parks. One on Lakeview Blvd that is operated by the school district, and one on Ridgeway that is operated by Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation.
The lake easements have a variety of amenities. Most have a lawn area with tables for picnics. Some have boat slips and canoe racks. One has a huge enclosure in the middle of which is water trampoline. There is a good deal of variety.
There is usually a waiting list for a boat slip. Space on canoe racks is usually available at the start of the summer season.
Some homes have deeded easements privileges at more than one easement. If you are considering buying a house that has an easement, visit all of them that you may have access to and find the one you like best.
Each easement is managed by its own by laws and a volunteer board of directors. There is a designated person on the board who manages the access. If you have easement rights, contact the appropriate person on the board, pay the annual fee, and obtain a key to the entry of the easement.
If you would like to find out of a particular property has easement privileges, call the Lake Corporation at 503-636-1422.

It may still be February, but sun and enjoyment of the lake is just around the corner.
