Oregon City is the oldest city in Oregon. It has a population of 150,000 people.
Located along the banks of the Willamette River and the Clackamas River, Oregon City, Oregon remains one of the top suburbs in the Portland metropolitan area. An abundance of local attractions, a booming local economy, strong real estate growth and strong schools make it a great community for longtime residents and attract new residents at a growing pace.
Nestled in the Cascade Mountains, nature lovers enjoy living in Oregon City. They also enjoy Willamette Falls on the Willamette River. History buffs enjoy the Museum of the Oregon Territory and End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Many homes and buildings list on the National Register of Historical Places. One such is the Oregon City Bridge built in 1922. With over 22 parks, residents enjoy boating, camping and many other outdoor activities.
A strong local economy equals a strong city. With that said, Oregon City’s economy continues to grow. Traditionally, the forestry industry dominated the local economy. However, only one paper mill remains. Light manufacturing and high technology fill the void of the waning forestry industry. One notable company includes Benchmade, a high-end cutlery company. Anderson Vending, Inc. keeps their corporate headquarters in Oregon. Other large employers include Home Depot, Clackamas County, Clackamas Community College and Willamette Falls Hospital.
With an average home price of $304,000 and a year to date growth of almost 7%, Oregon City’s real estate market continues to thrive. Great homes under $300k are available for purchase. Buyers find new construction starting at $359k. Real estate values expect to appreciate for years to come.

Numerous private schools provide great options for parents as well. Clackamas Community College, one of Oregon’s largest, provide locals high quality post-secondary education.
