Welcome to Willow Ponds
Willow Ponds is a carefully planned environmentally friendly residential neighborhood located within the Columbia River Gorge in Hood River, Oregon. A small number of meticulously built, not-so-big custom homes have been designed and sited with total respect for the the stunning mountain views, intimate pond and native stream setting.

Willow Ponds was honored to be part of the sustainable tour for the International Conference of Association of Professional Landscape Designers this past July. Over 65 attendees toured the public gardens and several private homes. The APLD recognized Willow Ponds as being at the forefront of sustainable neighborhood development with the use of onsite water retention, rehabilitation of wetlands and creation of new green spaces. As well they were quite impressed with the overall design and quality of homes and their relationship with each other.
Only three lots available. When we opened the four lots in Phase 3A this summer, two lots were sold very quickly. Only Lots 25 and 26 are now available in this new Phase. The two lots are located adjacent to a new creek and park area. Some large trees and other plants were planted this late fall and this coming spring we will create additional paver stone walkways with additional plantings of more trees, shrubs and native plants. As well two bridges will be created to allow Willow Ponds homeowners to enjoy the new walking path and pond. These two lots will have completely landscaped borders on 3 sides.
New roads and services! This fall an additional two roads were added including asphalt and services. These services will eventually connect to Phase 3B.
New home to be under construction this spring. Once again, Architect Rob Simons has designed a unique new home for the owners of lot 24. This home will incorporate the use of insulated concrete/foam walls with a higher insulation value as well as solar panels. Sustainable builder, Scott Sorenson will be the contractor on this home.
