Great for outdoors and nature lovers. Plenty of hiking trails, bike safe roads, and a whole lot of camping opportunities. There are many waterfalls, lakes, mountains, and all sorts of other out of the way attractions to stumble upon. Offers a nice small-town feel but isn't very far from Downtown Portland for city life adventures. There are all sorts of farmers markets, bazaars, and small businesses to explore and buy from. Schools are currently overfilled but many districts are actively working to get class sizes down. Fun activities can be found for all ages such as sports teams, archery lessons, community theatres, and much more. I personally love the wide variety of opportunities presented here.
Clackamas County is a very safe place to live, especially in areas like Clackamas and Happy Valley. Crime rate is low and neighbors are constantly watching out for each other. The schools in Clackamas County are also great schools. I've had good experiences at Clackamas High School, and most teachers are supportive, and the graduation rate is high. However, there isn't many activities to do around here. Teens don't have many places to go out to and visit besides places like Clackamas Town Center and the movie theater. I would like to see more attractions added around Clackamas Town Center, besides restaurants and shopping stores.
It is full of nice people and pretty views. However, there are some bad areas. Including some homeless population. Some areas are unkempt or old. But in most areas there are nice homes and a more stable population. I really like living here and would only more to be closer to a more rural area. Clackamas is close to some rural areas but I wouldn't consider it to be a rural town itself. I have lived in a lot of towns and enjoy Clackamas. The roads are nice and it is filled with nice landscaping. ( In the nice areas) There are many nice shops and grocery stores in the area as well. You don't need to leave very often because you have most of what you need right there.
