Living in Clackamas County
The North Clackamas County area is the Oregon most people recall with its mountains covered in fir, and creeks and rivers that look to Mt. Hood. The pristine Clackamas River surrounds the unique geographic areas of North Clackamas to the south; the historic Willamette River meanders on the west; the City of Portland frames the north; and the foothills of Mt. Hood rise to the east.
The North County area encompasses the cities of Milwaukie, Gladstone, Happy Valley, Johnson City, and towns such as Damascus, Jennings Lodge, Oak Grove, Boring, Barton, Westwood and Sunnyside. The wooded area with hills of fir trees and cleared valley also includes one of the two highest peaks around Portland, Mt. Scott, at 1,000 feet above sea level.
Clackamas County is the right answer for those seeking metropolitan living at a classic hometown pace. Our county is located approximately 10 miles south of the Portland Metropolitan area. The wide variety of recreational, shopping, housing and job opportunities in Oregon’s premiere geographical location offers everyone their own opportunity for identity, and at the same time inclusion in a neighborly community.
