City conveniences and suburban charm less than 10 miles from Portland

Named after the first settler to open a school in Milwaukie, Hector Campbell is a neighborhood just over a mile from downtown that offers convenient access to Portland and beyond. “I totally understand why Milwaukie and Portland are so popular. It’s been refreshing for me. There’s a mix of everything on our street in particular,” explains Jennifer Parral of Oregon First, an agent living in the Portland area for over a decade and actively selling homes in the Milwaukie area.

Ranch-style homes with grassy lots in Milwaukie

Though primarily made up of ranch-style homes, the neighborhood also includes a few cottage-style, contemporary and split-level houses. Small, grassy lots border the residential streets, and mature trees offer shade over each property. Cars park in concrete or paved driveways, leaving only the occasional vehicle along the road’s edge. Busier streets like Southeast Harrison have narrow sidewalks that link to grocers and parks, while quieter side streets like Southeast Jackson do not. Three-bedroom homes range from $440,000 to $565,000, and four-bedroom houses cost anywhere from $595,000 to $725,000.

From the wetlands of Minthorn North to the trails at Homewood

Bordered by Minthorn North Natural Area and home to Homewood Park and Campbell Community Garden, Hector Campbell ensures that opportunities to get outside are always within reach. For relaxing afternoons, Minthorn North Natural Area’s wetlands provide a space to bird-watch and explore local wildlife, with a short trail housed within its borders. For opportunities to connect with neighbors at the heart of the community, residents can walk with friends through forested trails or climb atop the play area at Homewood Park. They can also visit the Campbell Community Garden to test out their green thumb.

Walkable schools in North Clackamas School District

Part of North Clackamas School District, the neighborhood benefits from a B-graded district that ranks among the 20 most diverse in the state, according to Niche. Students begin at Ardenwald Elementary, which earns a B-minus, and transition to Rowe Middle, which earns a C. From here, students attend Milwaukie High, a B-minus school known for its Academy of the Arts. All three schools are about a mile from Hector Campbell, allowing students to walk to school easily.

Activities and events across two cities

Because of the active neighborhood association and proximity to multiple cities, locals get to explore activities and events of different shapes and sizes. The Hector Campbell Neighborhood Association hosts holiday events and road cleanups throughout the year, and Chapel Theatre hosts improv performances and acting camps in the neighborhood. Additional events are just a step away in downtown Milwaukie and Portland. Locals can reach the Umbrella Parade and CareFree Sunday within a mile or catch the light rail northwest to downtown Portland for the Faux Film Festival and Portland Rose Festival. “The Rose Parade is similar to the one in California. There’s a lot to see and do, that’s for sure,” Parral says.

Catching the Orange Line and heading north

Hector Campbell’s proximity to Portland and convenient transportation options remain among its biggest draws. Providence Milwaukie Hospital is less than a mile west and easily reached on foot or via bus. Metropolitan Area Express, known locally as MAX, provides light rail service directly to downtown Portland, with an Orange Line right in Milwaukie and rides available every 15 minutes. Ramps to Interstate 205 are less than 4 miles away for car travel, and Portland is only 8 miles away via Highway 99E. For trips outside Oregon, Portland International Airport is about 25 miles north.

Nearby restaurants and proximity to Clackamas Town Center

With shops and restaurants at the corner of Southeast King Road and Southeast 42nd Avenue, the neighborhood maintains a degree of suburban convenience, alleviating the need to enter downtown Milwaukie or Portland for basics. Safeway covers grocery needs, while restaurants like King Curry Thai Cuisine provide a place to grab a bite. That said, residents can venture to top spots in Milwaukie a mile west, including Pietro’s Pizza Milwaukie and Gramma’s Corner Kitchen. For access to retailers like Macy’s and REI, Clackamas Town Center sits about 3 miles southeast of Hector Campbell, easily reached via the 33 bus.
