🏡  Villebois — Wilsonville’s Best Kept Secret for Families

If you ask anyone in the Portland metro where to find the perfect balance between affordability, community, and lifestyle, few would immediately think of Villebois.

But they should.

Because tucked on the west side of Wilsonville lies a master-planned community that’s quietly become one of Oregon’s most family-friendly success stories — a neighborhood designed around connection, convenience, and everyday joy.


🌳 A Master-Planned Vision Turned Reality

Villebois isn’t just another subdivision. It’s a 4,000-home master-planned village built with a clear vision: to blend small-town warmth with modern living.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Walkable streets and parks everywhere — more than 170 acres of green space.
  • Village Center amenities with cafés, restaurants, and a seasonal farmers market.
  • Award-winning schools like Lowrie Primary and Meridian Creek Middle.
  • Quick access to I-5, placing you minutes from Portland and Salem.

It’s the kind of place where you can walk your kids to school, bike to the farmers market, and still commute to the city with ease.


📈 The Market Momentum

According to recent data, Villebois continues to attract first-time buyers, young professionals, and growing families at a steady pace.

  • Median Listing Price: $599,900
  • Strong Long-Term Appreciation: Consistent upward trend despite short-term adjustments.
  • Buyer Mix: 60% local upsizers and first-time homeowners; 40% relocations from Portland or California.
  • Seller Motivation: Many early buyers are moving up into larger homes within the same community — proof of long-term satisfaction and demand.

Villebois represents a balanced market: affordable compared to nearby luxury zones like Frog Pond, but desirable enough to deliver steady appreciation for homeowners and investors.


🏠 Designed for Families, Built for Connection

What makes Villebois so special isn’t just the homes — it’s the lifestyle.

Every element was built to encourage connection: front porches instead of fences, pocket parks between every few blocks, and gathering spaces that make it easy to meet neighbors.

You’ll find:

  • Community events like concerts, movie nights, and block parties.
  • Recreational amenities including trails, playgrounds, sports courts, and a pool.
  • Diverse home styles — from townhomes to large single-family houses, offering options for every stage of life.

It’s a place where families don’t just move in — they put down roots.


💡 Why Villebois Appeals to Modern Buyers

The modern buyer wants more than square footage — they want a life that fits. Villebois offers that perfect mix:

  1. Affordability Meets Quality: Homes under $600K with top-tier amenities.
  2. Smart Community Design: Every home connects to trails, parks, or open space.
  3. Proximity to Work + Play: 25 minutes to downtown Portland, 10 to wine country.
  4. Strong Schools + Safe Streets: One of the most family-focused zones in the region.
  5. Future Growth: With 4,000+ homes planned, the area continues to expand with new retail, dining, and infrastructure.

🗣️ A Story from the Ground

I recently worked with a young family relocating from Beaverton. They were outgrowing their condo but didn’t want to give up the walkable, community-centric feel they loved.

When we toured Villebois, it clicked.

“It feels like a modern neighborhood designed for real life,” they said.
“Our kids can walk to the park, and we can still grab coffee on the way to work.”

They bought within a week — and now they’re helping friends make the move too. That’s the power of community appeal.


🔍 What This Means for Buyers, Sellers & Agents

For Buyers:
Villebois offers an ideal entry point into the Wilsonville market. You get the amenities and quality of life of higher-priced areas — without the luxury price tag.

For Sellers:
With demand from upsizers and relocators, homes in Villebois attract strong interest when marketed strategically. Highlight lifestyle, walkability, and community features — not just square footage.

For Agents & Partners:
Villebois is your opportunity to build relationships with lifetime clients. Families who buy here often stay for years — and refer others who want the same experience.


🧭 The Bigger Picture

Villebois represents what many Oregon families are looking for in 2025:

  • Safety without isolation
  • Community without compromise
  • Affordability without settling

As Wilsonville continues to evolve, Villebois stands as proof that thoughtful planning and genuine community values can still exist in modern real estate.
