Milwaukie is a quiet suburb of Portland, Oregon with panoramic views of Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens throughout the neighborhoods. Its streets are lined with towering Douglas fir trees so you would never know it's just a 15 minute drive to the Pearl district of Portland. Milwaukie is the perfect distance away from the bustle of the city and the quiet of the mountains, easy access to Saturday markets, walking trails, bike paths, and so much more. Settled near two great rivers, the Columbia and the Willamette, water activities are easy to get to from Milwaukie during the summer months. During the winter, its just a short drive to Timberline for some sledding and hot coco! True to the PNW, there are also many coffee shops, breweries, and wineries in the surrounding area to explore. Milwaukie is an easy-going, family-friendly suburb with so much to offer its residents.
Milwaukie Oregon might be deceiving just based on looks, although it's a so-called diamond in the rough. On the outside Milwaukie shows an almost gritty sad type vibe, yet below its loom of looks is a quaint little suburb I call home. It's a place filled with sweet grandmother-type homes, lined up in linear rows wrapping around the block. The birds chirp in the forested backyards on the ever so quiet streets. The people greet their neighbors with joyous grins painted across their faces. And at times they might share a belly laugh or two. Although, Milwaukie might be a little bit of a fixer-upper, there's nothing a little bit of paint can't fix.
Great place to grow up in the neighborhoods, quiet and safe place and mostly walkable area. It's stayed lush through all the new development of apartments and businesses, it's a developing neighborhood with a small town feel.
