North plains, rich in history and community!

It was just over 100 years ago that North Plains became North Plains and since that day that rich history and community has always been present. This wonderful community isn’t large, but got its name from Lewis and Clark who called the area the North Tualatin Plains.

North Plains Farming Community

The community got a real boost because of the rich farm land and the railroad coming through in the early development of the community. The area around North Plains grew in to large communities, North Plains stayed small and today still has many farms that feed many of the farmer’s markets.

Though most of the Portland area doesn’t qualify for 100% financing, North Plains does thanks to programs like the USDA home loan. If you are interested in living in a great community with lots of history and a sense of community, give Todd Clark and the Friendly Home Team a call, we are here to help.

Beautiful photos yet again!  USDA RD loans are VERY popular here.  Coeur d'Alene doesn't qualify because it's too large, but the outlying communities and county do.  Best terms available for qualifying buyers.

Hi Todd...it always nice to know the history of any community, especially if you're considering living there. North Plains Oregon looks like a great place to rise a family or to retire to a simpler life.

I use the USDA loan a lot.  It is nice that you have a community that also allows this great loan product.

Todd-What guts it took to build those bridges and drive the trains back in those days. Those were the days when men were men and the women were damn proud of them

Todd, gotta love North Plains steeped in history and still managing to keep the software/hi tech people at bay...I love those USDA loans, too...they work in Vernonia and out this way, also.

Todd, nice photos, and part of the area that was once referred to as the Oregon Trail by the early Western settlers? We don't have many areas that qualify as USDA loan areas, but there are a few. People do not really understand them, nor do some loan officers.

It really is cool how North Plains came to be and how it has changed the area. Still a great farming community, it has managed not to grow as much as the surrounding cities. (Really is rather nice to see)

Hi Todd,

 Great photos. I love the history around us and sometimes we wish we would have enjoyed its beauty before it is gone.

North Plains is a great community.  We had a nice 4th Of July celebration with firework, parade, and hometown festival.

August wil bring the 15th Annual North Plains Galic Festival. 

There is becoming more and more to do right in North Plains, and we are located close to other large cities.
