About Forest Grove
The city of Forest Grove was created by Alvin and Abigail Smith as a farming settlement at the end of the Oregon Trail. With a growing population of 21,000 and prominent location just 27 miles west of Portland along Route 26, Forest Grove has since diversified into markets larger than agriculture. Led by food and beverage processing and manufacturing, the local economy includes value-added wood products, technology, and health care. Main agriculture products including nurseries, winemaking, and blueberries still exist. Because of the flourishing local economy, residents of a Forest Grove house or apartment for rent can easily find work close to home, although a convenient light rail mass transit system offers a quick commute into Portland for other jobs. The Tri-Met Bus also serves Forest Grove. Centered around the prolific Pacific University, Forest Grove has a certain unique charm from the thousands of undergraduates that scurry throughout the city. The community actively supports neighborhood events like First Wednesday, Barbershop Ballad Contest, Farmers Market, Main Course, American Music Festival, Founders Day Corn Roast, Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival, and Holidays in the Grove. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Forest Grove can also take advantage of 9 city parks, a skateboard park, indoor city swimming pools, and 12 tennis courts. The Lincoln Park, Talisman Park, Rogers Park, Joseph Gale Park, and Bard Park provide fields for organized football, baseball, soccer, and softball in their respective seasons. The Tillamook State Forest, a few minutes away, features fishing, hiking, camping, swimming, and horseback riding.
