Quality of Life

Beauty and vitality are the two words that come to mind when describing the North Clackamas County area of Oregon. As they say in the state, "Things look better here," and for Clackamas County, that goes double!

With wonders of nature at both the front and back doors of the county, and all the magic of the middle kingdom in between, this is where you will want to live, play, work, or just "linger longer".

Stately Mt. Hood reaches to the blue Oregon sky at a height of 11,235 feet; standing guard over the Willamette River that separates Clackamas County from downtown Portland. A few short miles to the north the Columbia River flows majestically, while the easy going Clackamas River flows it's way through the heart of the county.

Year-round recreation, whether you're a winter or summer person, indoors or outdoors, is here for the taking. A variety of employment opportunities from family wage to hi-tech offers a nice palette of lifestyle choices. Serenity and tranquility find their place side-by-side with energy and enthusiasm for the people who spend their time in this part of Oregon.

You'll understand why the pioneers of the mid 1840's caught their breath with wonder and settled with gratitude in this area known as the End of the Oregon Trail. As they felt blessed by the land and its abundance, so do all the new "pioneers" who venture here. Oregon's Clackamas County remains the land of opportunity, where history sits side-by-side with technology and life offers choices that fit us all.
