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.

That said, residents can venture to top spots in Milwaukie a mile west, including Pietro’s Pizza Milwaukie and Gramma’s Corner Kitchen.

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.
Chapel Theater keeps the arts close.
Downtown Milwaukie is a small city of its own, close to Portland.
