Lake access is important to a lot of people looking to move to Lake Oswego and buying a home with deeded access to one of the 20 easements on the lake is one of the more affordable ways to enjoy the lake without living on it.
Not all easements are created equal which is why I’ve put together a list of all their amenities and fees here. When looking at homes in Lake Oswego, be sure to check which easements (if any) a particular home has rights to. Some have rights to as many as four, in which case you’d want to look at the different amenities and fees to determine which one might be the best choice.
I also recommend that buyers contact the easement they are considering and find out how long the waitlist is for amenities like a boat slip or a canoe rack. Sometimes those lists can be very long with a very slow turnover rate so you want to know that going in.
In addition to the fees you’ll find below, easement members must also pay Lake Corporation fees each year. For 2024 they are $213/Swim Only; $1462/Powerboat; $1233/Shared Powerboat. These fees go towards maintaining the water quality of the lake so we can all enjoy it.
All Lake Oswego residents can enjoy the Lake Oswego Swim Park located at 250 Ridgeway Road and open from July 1 through August 31. Residents within the original Lake Grove School District boundary have lake privileges at the Lake Grove Swim Park, 3800 Lakeview Blvd. which is usually open starting the first weekend after school’s out through the weekend before school starts.
You can find more information on the Lake Corporation website. And if you have any questions, just give me or my daughter, Riley a call. We’d love to make sure you find a home that enables you to enjoy the lake if that’s what is important to you.
