If you actually have money, yes, you can get top-tier property while still being very close to urban Portland but also escaping Multnomah County taxes. There are one or two neighborhoods in Washington County where this is also doable but without any kind of town-center like LO has. Beyond that your options are basically just hick mcmansions in Wilsonville or a full move to Vancouver. (Assuming you're tax optimizing. Unfortunately the nicest properties are still for the most part in Multco)
If middle class or lower, no probably not worth it.
Lake Oswego is very nice but so is tualatin Tigard Sherwood south Beaverton cedar mill west linn new Hillsboro any of the westside is nice besides for hillsburrito and downtown Beaverton oh and aloha is our Gresham no sidewalks and aloha high has no windows
It might not be a banger of a song, but there's nothing wrong, with wanting your perfect little town that everybody wants to move to, remain under 50 thousand people.
I live 30 minutes away from here and yes it's a very nice community especially in contrast to neighboring Portland. It's extremely clean and has an active police force that the community respects and supports. But yeah you basically have to be a millionaire with steady 6 figure cash flow or pension to live there, (property tax, income tax, OR state tax)There are other suburbs west of the willamette similar to Lake O. Some are Tigard, Tualatin, West Lynn.
Those areas are ok you can find nice subdivisions around there salmon creek and Vancouver lake along with the Columbia River park are big swimming beaches during the summer I remember going to salmon creek Park with friends during summer as a kid coming from Beaverton
