A community on the edge of rural and suburban living
Damascus, Oregon sits on the border of rural and suburban living. On one side, you have the almost overwhelming array of shopping and dining options of Happy Valley, Southgate, and Clackamas. On the other, the Cascade Mountains offer world-class hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and skiing. “Damascus has rolling hills and beautiful views,” says Jessie Jones, a local Realtor with John L. Scott Real Estate. “The lots are large here, which is a big draw to the community, and you’re just outside of Boring and Clackamas, so there are plenty of nearby amenities along with outdoor spaces and walking trails.”

With yards reaching 10 acres and beyond and Happy Valley amenities just a short drive away, it's not uncommon to see house price tags well over $1 million, with an average listing price of $770,000. This makes the area around $200,000 more expensive compared to other communities in the Portland area, but slightly more affordable than the average Boring listing price. The housing market in Damascus sees a wide variety of architectural styles and build dates, with some dating back to the early 20th century and some brand-new builds currently under construction. Three-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot ranch-style homes with newly renovated interiors and 1-acre lots can be listed for $625,000, while the market’s high end features small homes in need of some TLC on 20-acre properties for over $3 million.

Nearby outdoor recreation
What the community lacks in parks, it makes up for in private outdoor spaces with large lots and forested areas. “Boring borders Damascus to the east and has multiple walking and biking paths,” says Jones. The paved Springwater Corridor Trail and the gravel Cazadero Trail are accessible from central Boring, providing over 20 miles of trails. Close to the town’s center, Damascus features Centennial Park, home to a small playground and a picnic area.
