Location, Location, Location
The Bryant neighborhood lies in the southwest corner of Lake Oswego. There are approximately 1177 residential units, mostly single-family homes, but also condos and apartments. We are fortunate to have everything we need within a short distance, easy access to I-5, and a variety of small businesses. Bryant neighbors care about making their community a better place, and the neighborhood association has been active for many years. Activities are only limited by the imagination, volunteer time, and energy of our BNA members so new, active members are always welcome!
We invite you to take a stroll around our beautiful, shaded corner of Lake Oswego, and you will immediately note its eclectic nature. No cookie-cutter houses here. Our neighborhood encompasses a wide range of architectural and personal styles nestled underneath groves of Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Big Leaf Maples. Neighbors love where they live, and this is visible in the beautiful gardens on every street. We are also lucky to have a little bit of the wilderness within our suburban neighborhood. As you continue your stroll don’t forget to include the two “natural area” parks: Bryant Woods Nature Park and Lamont Springs Natural Area.
Our neighbors also move and stay here because of the great schools, including the new Lakeridge Middle School whose grounds are a gathering and activity spot for our family-oriented community. You can play tennis on one of the two outdoor courts, play soccer on the field, throw a Frisbee, swing your young children, or shoot a few hoops on the covered outdoor basketball court. These same families can be found walking to view the Fourth of July celebration fireworks at the Lake Grove Swim Park.
Neighborhood streets such as Bryant, Pilkington, Jean, Lakeview, and Childs are critical links for bikers, pedestrians, residential traffic, and through traffic all year long. It is common to see joggers, cyclists, and people walking their dogs, especially on the city-recognized Jean, Boones, Bryant Pathway loop. We are also fortunate to have main Oswego Lake and Canal as our eastern boundary so many residences have lake access, and all residences have access to the Lake Grove Swim Park.
How Bryant Got Its Shape
Boats, trains, and automobiles drive our neighborhood shape. The boundaries of Bryant include the Portland and Western Railroad tracks to the north, the western edge of the Lake Grove Swim Park wrapping around the western corner of main lake and down Oswego Canal to the east, and a short section of Child’s Road below the Bryant Woods Nature Park to the south
The western boundary is more complex. This boundary runs south down Pilkington Road from Lower Boones Ferry Road to the Jean Road intersection, east on Jean Road to drop south again to encompass the residences and school on SW Central Ave on the west side of the Lakeridge Middle School, south along the western edge of Bryant Woods HOA to Centerwood Street, east to encompass homes on both sides of Centerwood Street, and then straight south again along the western edge of Bryant Woods Nature Park until it intersects Childs Road to complete the loop.
