New to Lake Oswego


Welcome! So you’ve either relocated to Lake Oswego, or you’re thinking about it. These resources will help get your questions answered if you’re unfamiliar with the community. You’ll see that some utilities (water, sewer) are provided by the City, while others are operated by businesses (electricity, garbage, phone, cable, etc). We’ve also provided maps and useful links for local education, business, and neighborhood contacts.

Services and Activities Guide

Whether you're a long time resident, new to town, simply visiting, or considering relocation to Lake Oswego, you'll find a wealth of information about our community in the compact and user-friendly Services and Activities Guide.  The Guide condenses useful information from hundreds of different sources and includes a directory and full color map with key points of interest.  The Guide will replace the large volume of material previously provided to new or prospective residents or businesses requesting information about the City.  The Guide is available on brochure racks at City facilities and at other locations throughout the community.
