Sundeleaf Plaza

The City of Lake Oswego is in the final stages of completing the city’s newest park, Sundeleaf Plaza. The park is centrally located on State Street between the Lake Theatre and Millennium Plaza Park.

Only just a few years ago the lake could not be seen from downtown. In fact, there were no public access points at all. With the construction of Millennium Plaza Park in 2000, and now Sundeleaf Plaza in 2011, the lake is accessible to the public and views of the lake can be enjoyed by those passing through town on Hwy 43.

The plaza is named in honor of Richard Sundeleaf, a prominent Oregon Architect. Mr. Sundeleaf lived in Lake Oswego for a number of years and 9 homes that he built are listed on the City of Lake Oswego’s landmark designation list, including his own home on Phantom Bluff.

Mr. Sundeleaf also built a number of commercial buildings in Lake Oswego including the Lakewood Center, the Lake House Restaurant, the Lake Theatre, and the Murphy real estate building (currrently home to Starbuck’s). His style combined Arts and Crafts with Tudor to create a charming style that had a huge influence on the “village” atmosphere so prominent in Lake Oswego.

The new plaza has views of Lakewood Bay, and a lakeside promenade. The Lake Theatre next door is remodeling to allow for lakeside dining and use of an outdoor fireplace that faces the plaza.

This plaza is a great addition to the many outdoor spaces to be enjoyed in Lake Oswego. It’s another great reason that Lake Oswego stands out as a wonderful community to live in.

News & Notes

*JOBS: Moving to Lake Oswego and looking for a job?

– The City of Lake Oswego has several openings.  Check them out HERE.

– Parks and Recreation job openings can be found HERE.

* BANK-OWNED PROPERTIES: Dianne and I work with a wide array of clients, and each client is different; looking for a solution to their own unique circumstance.  That said, one thing that everyone seems to ask about these days is “bank-owned” or REO properties.  Yes, these are available in Lake Oswego, and the appeal is that they are almost always under market value.  These properties have either gone through the short-sale phase unsuccessfully (they didn’t sell while listed as short-sale), or have just gone straight back to the bank and therefore appear as a new property on the market where the Seller is the Bank.

I usually talk with clients about the fact that they are really looking for a *home* that meets their needs… both monetary and otherwise (location/school/amenities/lot size/number of bedrooms & other criteria), and so I focus on the whole picture as there are so many good “deals” on the market right now whether they are bank-owned or not.  AND, bank-owned properties, if they fit your other needs, are a great resource when you’re looking at the financial side.

Below you’ll find the bank-owned properties on the market in Lake Oswego right now, as well as the ones that have Sold in the last 30 days.  I included some basic directions in case you wanted to drive by and see if any of these interest you. ***Of course, do not drive in the driveways or otherwise disturb the new owners of the ones in the “Sold” category : )

To answer a question that always seems to come up: If a house shows a lower List Price than Sold Price this can have multiple reasons including seller-paid concessions (closing costs etc), multiple offers & therefore “bidding up” on price, etc.

Hopefully this is a good reference-resource for you. Happy August!

What’s in a Name?

When Linda and I were figuring out what to name this blog we did quite a bit of brain storming. We considered things like “Around the Lake” and “Lake Oswego Real Estate Blog”. They just seemed so generic. Linda was the one with the creative touch. She suggested naming our blog after the ever popular police blotter in the Lake Oswego Review.

Why? Well, if you know LO, you know that it is known for it’s low crime rate and that the police department has a 100% response policy. You will not get a form mailed to you to report a stolen wallet, you’ll get an officer in a patrol car: 100% of the time. And this means that when the police departments weekly reports are published in the LO Review, you read some pretty funny stuff.

Here is a sampling of recently published police reports from the Police Blotter in the Lake Oswego Review:

6/3/11 7:26 pm. A yellow lab wearing an Oregon Ducks collar and tag was easy to identify and was reunited with its owner.

6/4/11 9:04pm. A man thought to be bleeding had actually spilled ravioli all over himself.

6/6/11 2:58pm. A mama duck and her little duckies kept waddling into Highway 43. An officer shooed them into some bushes.

6/28/11 7:34am. In a case of run-by catsup throwing, an unknown suspect threw a catsup mixture on a car on Brookhurst Drive. Clues include catsup packages, a bottle, and a comb.

6/29/11 10:17am. A man drove down Bryant in a golf cart, accompanied by kids he just picked up from Westridge School.

7/3/11 1:10pm. A young child was interrupted in its rough treatment of some kittens, then was lectured by the father.

7/3/11 5:03pm. A swarm of bees got inside the church at Our Lady of the Lake.

7/5/11 6:12pm. A mysterious female beagle wearing a red collar was brought back to its owner by an alert neighbor. The beagle’s return was greeted with mixed feelings.

7/5/11 10:37pm. Four teenaged juveniles were getting out of a vehicle on Kilchurn Avenue and slamming their bodies against houses. Kicks just keep getting harder to find.

7/10/11 8:53pm. People were worried about their friend not answering her calls until she revealed she had dropped her phone into a pool.

Yep, that’s the sort of stuff the the police in Lake Oswego respond to. The blotter in the review is widely red and chuckled about. Linda and I feel it is truly unique to Lake Oswego and that those who live here would immediately recognize the reference in the name of our blog.

We’ve been writing this blog for a couple of years now. It brings us both a lot of satisfaction. Thank you for reading and following the real estate scene here in Lake Oswego with Linda and myself.
