Embracing the Tranquil Charms of Milwaukie, Oregon

By Jessica LeDoux, March 27, 2024

In 2021, my life took an exciting turn as my husband accepted a position at Clackamas Fire, leading us to make the pivotal decision to relocate to Milwaukie, Oregon. Little did I know then that this quaint town nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest would capture my heart.

A multitude of factors drove our decision to move to Milwaukie. One of the primary draws was the promise of expansive lots, offering ample space for our family to thrive and grow. Coming from a bustling city, the prospect of a quieter community was incredibly appealing, providing a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Portland.

Accessibility was another key consideration in our relocation. Situated just south of Portland, Milwaukie boasts excellent connectivity, making it easy to commute to neighboring areas while still enjoying the tranquility of suburban living. Despite its proximity to the city, Milwaukie maintains its distinct identity, offering a unique blend of urban amenities and small-town charm.

One of the greatest joys of living in Milwaukie is its proximity to nature. The city is full of amazing green spaces and easy access to outdoor adventures like paddle boarding along the Willamette or floating the Sandy River.

For us, Milwaukie has become home and has offered the perfect blend of nature, space, and community.
