Welcome to Forest Grove, Oregon

Forest Grove, Oregon sits on the western edge of the Portland metro area, where small-town day-to-day living meets easy access to bigger-city jobs, services, and entertainment. If you’re considering a move—whether you plan to rent first or buy—this page is designed to give you a clear starting point and help you explore Forest Grove like a future resident, not a weekend visitor.

Forest Grove Home Guide is research-first. We focus on practical questions people ask before they relocate: what life feels like, what’s convenient (or not), what you’ll spend, how you’ll get around, and what you’ll do with your time once you live here.
