Collins View itself is unique in several important ways: It's not urban, in the sense of square blocks, or high-rise apartment buildings, or much commercial activity; but it's not strictly suburban either, because it's close to downtown. It has a modest commercial center, at the intersection of Terwilliger and Taylor's Ferry. It's pretty hilly, has few sidewalks, and has a largely rural feel once you get off Terwilliger. It's got four cemeteries, two of which are historic, within its boundaries. Eight-hundred-acre Tryon Creek State Natural Area, and another 200 acres of open space, are both mainly forest, and home to a wide variety of plants, birds and other wildlife.  It's got a fine private college (Lewis & Clark) and a fine law school (Lewis & Clark Law School), making it home to a number of students, faculty, and staff.
