I'm walking distance to a cup of coffee and the commercial library (Barnes & Noble). A ten minute bike ride and I'm downtown having a brew and a burger or catching a movie at the Old Mill. <br /> <br /> Totally agree on Pilot Butte. I read somewhere it is the most visited state park in Oregon. Living in the shadow of the Butte on the 4th of July we actually spend more time watching the falling embers ignite whatever they land on than we do the fireworks.<br /> <br /> And living within walking distance of Juniper is awesome. The only downside to the swim center is the expansion. It's often crowded now but like a fitness center in January, that should go away once people file their healthy resolutions under "Maybe Next Year."<br /> <br /> We live near Bear Creek school and yes, Eastside is great.

Jefferson, Mt Washington, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and the Ochocos. When I go over to the west side, so much of what I love is blocked by trees and hills. I looked at houses on the west side, and while they had much to offer, they couldn't come close to the view I have in front of me everyday. From my house way SE, I can see the Sisters, Mt.
