      Close Community no crime and lots of bands! The schools are Community orientated with latchkey programs for working parents. Mad Max and buses make commuting to Portland easy.

      No matter where I've lived outside of Milwaukie, I always find myself coming "home" and really feeling comfortable and safe in this area. The air quality and the overall yearly temperatures are perfect, hearing about a local crime is rare, and the schools and businesses offer nice environments for people to go. The location is perfect, since anything and everything is a short trip in any direction (the mountain, the beach, the city, etc.).
      Jennings Lodge is a small community in unincorporated Clackamas County. I have lived here my entire life. My children went to the same Elementary school that I attended. We have bike paths and are on the bus line, the Max is less than three miles away. One thing I don't like is a developer has bought the seminary and is planning on cutting down all of the trees. Some of these trees are over 75 years old.
