Why Live in Oak Grove
Oak Grove is an unincorporated community in northern Clackamas County, stretching two miles east of the Willamette River and less than 25 minutes from downtown Portland via state Route 99E. The neighborhood features a mix of old and new homes, including ranch-style houses from the 1960s, split-levels from the 1970s, and contemporary homes built within the past 30 years. These properties sit on spacious lots ranging from 8,000 to 12,000 square feet, often with well-manicured lawns, wide driveways, and fenced backyards. Riverfront homes and those on the eastern ridge with river views command a premium price. Oak Grove's streets are somewhat gridded, with sidewalks primarily in newer subdivisions, necessitating a car for errands. The community boasts a dense canopy of trees, providing ample shade and seasonal leaf-raking activities for children. The Willamette River's eastern shore is a prominent feature, offering private docks for riverfront homes and public access points at Rivervilla Park. Elk Rock Island and Hog Island provide unique exploration opportunities, with Elk Rock accessible via a land bridge and Hog Island reachable only by boat. Risley Park and Stringfield Family Park, both five acres, feature athletic fields and playgrounds, connected by the Trolley Trail, a six-mile multi-use path. Shopping options along Route 99E include Fred Meyer, Grocery Outlet, and Walmart, alongside local dining spots like The Grove Restaurant and Bar, Sushi Kata Japanese Restaurant, and Voodoo Doughnut.
