Why Durham Heights is a Hidden Gem

Located in Southwest Portland’s Tualatin suburb, Durham Heights is a thoughtfully planned community featuring 36 homesites. The development offers a mix of single-level and two-story floorplans, perfect for everyone from first-time buyers to families looking for more space.

Currently, there are move-in ready homes available, as well as opportunities to customize your finishes if you purchase before construction is complete. That means buyers can get the best of both worlds: a brand-new home with designer upgrades, tailored to their taste.Home Features That Stand Out

Our tour highlights two standout homes in the neighborhood:

• Spacious Two-Story Home: Nearly 3,000 sq. ft., with 4 bedrooms, an office, 2.5 baths, and an upstairs lounge. This layout offers open-concept living, a gourmet kitchen, and breathtaking views of the Southwest Portland hills.

• Single-Level Home: Just under 1,900 sq. ft., with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Perfect for buyers seeking easy, single-level living without compromising on modern design or functionality.

Both homes showcase luxury vinyl plank flooring, 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows for natural light, and gourmet kitchens with quartz countertops and custom cabinetry. Thoughtful details like mudrooms, three-car garages, and soft-close cabinetry elevate the everyday living experience.

Why Tualatin is One of Portland’s Best Suburbs

Durham Heights isn’t just about the homes, it’s about location. Tualatin offers the perfect balance of convenience, lifestyle, and affordability compared to neighboring suburbs like Lake Oswego and West Linn.

• Shopping & Dining: Bridgeport Village; home to the Apple Store, Crate & Barrel, Shake Shack, and more, is less than half a mile away.

• Nature & Recreation: Access to the Tualatin River, Browns Ferry Nature Park, and the Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge.

• Schools: Served by the Tualatin-Tigard School District, consistently ranked among the top in Oregon.

• Home Prices: With a median price of around $620,000, Tualatin offers excellent value compared to nearby luxury suburbs.

Simply put, Tualatin gives you the best of Portland living at a more affordable price point.
