Milwaukie / Gladstone

Partly due to the resurgence of the commercial and retail centers along McGloughlin Blvd., both Milwaukie and its neighboring city to the south, Gladstone, are experiencing increased interest in residential housing. Willamette riverfront properties used to be less money, perhaps considered less desirable than the other side of the river. Not any more. Tear-downs are happening and multi-million dollar homes are going up. A clean environment, solid employment opportunities, good schools, and numerous cultural and recreational opportunities contributed to Milwaukie, "The City of Dogwoods", being named one of the top 50 places in the nation to raise a family. Gladstone also enjoys the Clackamas River as another recreational outlet for its residents. Within its city limits there are over 100 acres of publicly-owned park land. In both cities, there are great pockets of comfortable neighborhoods, modestly priced. The range of architecture is immense. Keep your eyes open for good buys on homes that have good bones but may need a little TLC. More information about Milwaukie can be found on the City of Milwaukie home page.

Oregon City

Few people know that Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains. Founded in 1844, Oregon City was once the capital of the Oregon Territory and for years the administrative center for Oregon, Washington and Idaho. When San Francisco was first being platted, the plat maps were filed in the federal courthouse in Oregon City. History proceeds itself when it comes to Oregon City. It was the first to have a newspaper in the West, the first hotel, first mint, and the first jail in the area. With the oldest commercial district in the Pacific Northwest, the historic character of Oregon City still remains. Much care and attention has been given to preserve the heritage of the pioneers that walked the Oregon Trail. In tribute to our forefathers, Oregon City is home to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and the John McGloughlin House. Swelling with residential housing starts, Oregon City has a diversity of housing ranging from the historic to the contemporary, urban to the rural, moderate to expensive. Anyone visiting the Oregon City area must visit the Oregon City Falls- rich in history as ancient Indian fishing grounds.

Gresham

Gresham is the fourth largest city in Oregon and remains Multnomah County's second largest city behind Portland to its west. It is consider the gateway to the scenic Columbia River Gorge and year-round recreational area, Mt. Hood National Forest. In the past, Gresham was abundant with berry fields, nurseries, and farmland. Today with a population over 80,000, Gresham is one of the fastest growing areas in Multnomah County. Served by Portland's MAX light rail line, home owners can get more for their money and have inexpensive, convenient transportation to downtown Portland. In an effort to achieve their goal of "Oregon's most livable city", the Gresham City Council is focusing on building park facilities, recreational programs, constructing trail and bik paths, and preserving hundreds of acres for open space. Home to Mt. Hood Community College, diverse in curriculum, each summer greats like Ella Fitzgerald and The Manhattan Transfer fill the college grounds for the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival.
