Sunnyside
Shop at the Clackamas Town Center
Nearby dining and shopping options can be found in a few places. Right outside the neighborhood bounds off Interstate 205 is the Clackamas Town Center, which has long been a regional shopping destination and has over the years been ranked as among the top malls in the greater Portland area. The mall, which has 170 stores, includes chains like the Cheesecake Factory and the all-ages arcade Dave & Buster’s, as well as the Cinemark Clackamas Town Center and XD. A little north of the mall is a WinCo Foods and Trader Joe’s for grocery shopping. The area around the Sunnyside Marketplace on the east end of the neighborhood offers dining and shopping options. Residents can find rice bowls, wraps and salads at vegetarian-friendly regional chain Cafe Yumm! Or they can grab a cafe bombon and Belgian waffle topped with whip cream, powdered sugar and strawberries at Elka Bee’s Coffee Haus. Farther east on Southeast Sunnyside Road is the Happy Valley Station Food Carts pod.

Explore the forest at Mount Talbert Nature Park
Mount Talbert Nature Park is one of the main outdoor recreational destinations in this part of Clackamas County. Located near the heart of Sunnyside, the more than 220-acre space features picnic facilities and a 4-mile trail network that winds through an old-growth forest and includes a path to the summit. Mount Talbert is the largest in a group of extinct volcanoes and lava domes found across the east side of this region. There’s a strong chance that park visitors, along the way, will spot migrating deer and birds like the pileated and hairy woodpecker, white-breasted nuthatch and Western tanager. For something indoors, there’s the North Clackamas Aquatic Park located just west of Sunnyside. Visitors there can have fun in the wave pool or barrel down the water slides. They can also take a short break from the water and try out the climbing wall.

Ranch-styles and Traditionals
Like in some other suburbs in the greater Portland area, the neighborhood blocks here feature roads winding through hilly and dense residential areas set against a backdrop of conifer covered hills. Homes commonly found around here include raised ranch-style houses and variations like split- and bi-levels, as well as many Traditionals dating back to the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. Price points for the ranch-style house variations can go from around $550,000 for a three-bedroom to over $600,000 for a five-bedroom. The Traditionals from the mid-$500,000s for one just under 2,000 square feet to over $830,000 for one over 4,000 square feet. There are also some new townhouse developments, where price points can run from the upper $300,000s for a two-bedroom unit to over $420,000 for a three-bedroom space.

Clackamas High's cultural activities
Schools in the community include Sunnyside Elementary School, Rock Creek Middle School and Clackamas High School, all of which received grades of C-plus or higher from ratings site Niche. The high school, which has stood out with its test scores and college readiness, offers a variety of after-school programs that include culturally-focused student unions and multiple honor societies.

Rocking out at Pickathon
Sunnyside residents can attend a number of events in Happy Valley. Among them is the popular Pickathon music festival that takes place at Pendarvis Farm in August. The multi-day event usually draws thousands of people to the area. Other nearby city events include the 4th of July Family Festival and Oktoberfest, which both take place at Happy Valley Park.Access to MAX Green Line
The MAX light rail’s Green Line makes a stop right between Sunnyside’s western bounds and the Clackamas Town Center. The community sits right along Interstate 205. The highway provides a direct connection to the Portland International Airport, which is located 12 miles north of the community. A number of TriMet bus stops are located in the community, particularly along Southeast Sunnyside Road. The community is home to the Sunnyside Medical Center, which is operated by Kaiser Permanente.
