Quail Park is located on a private road, in a secluded and wooded area of southwest Portland. It is home to walking trails, a creek, and regular wildlife sightings. The neighborhood was designed to be park-like and in harmony with the natural landscape. Quail Park was created with the intention of preserving as much of the natural environment as possible.
Quail Park is a Planned Community, originally named Hidden Hills when development began in 1973. Quail Park was completed in three phases. The first developer built the houses from Lancaster Road to the first trail. Then, Tualatin Development Company (TDC) bought the development, renamed it Quail's Nest and then Quail Park, and built the majority of the rest of the homes. When TDC dissolved, a third developer completed Quail Park in 1977.

What types of changes require an Architecture Review Committee approval?

What is the water system LID?
The water distribution system for Quail Park was owned and maintained by the HOA until the Portland City Council voted to approve formation of a Local Improvement District (LID) on November 12, 2020. This means that the Portland Water Bureau is now fully responsible for our water system and all of the repairs and maintenance going forward. They have already begun making updates and replacements to improve this aging system to ensure continued safe and reliable water service to our residents. They will eventually replace the entire system. Through the LID, homeowners must share in the cost of updating the system to city standards. Nothing is owed until 2039, at which time homeowners may pay in full or make payments over the course of the following 20 years. The LID is between the City of Portland and each individual homeowner, NOT the HOA. Please visit the City's website for project contacts if you have further questions.
This article includes a good overview of the history of how this project came about and why it was needed.
What is allowed regarding For Sale signs?
One real estate “For Sale” sign that conforms to real estate industry standards may be temporarily placed on a lot. Additional Real Estate traffic directional signs may be placed at the entrances to Quail Park and local access intersection on Quail Post Road.
