Located just 16 miles south of Portland, the award-winning Villebois community is set against picturesque town of Wilsonville. Developed by renowned Costa Pacific Communities, Villebois enjoys a breathtaking natural backdrop, sure to inspire you and your family each and every day. Within the community, you'll find a charming gathering place-Piazza Villebois-at the heart of a vibrant Village Center, complete with shops, restaurants, and parks.

And, because Villebois is so close to Portland, visiting the excitement of the city is just as easy as relaxing in the shade of an oak tree. From museums, to golfing, to skiing, and more, Villebois' close proximity to the city blends seamlessly with its location in nature: which means you can connect-or disconnect-with each, whenever you'd like.
