A community-orientated neighborhood with proximity to everything residents need

The complete package of Lewelling is what makes it special — it’s quiet residential living that won’t hit homebuyers’ wallets as hard as some other areas, while still close to seemingly everything they could ask for. The neighborhood conveniently places its residents near the heart of downtown Milwaukie and within arm’s reach of Portland and Beaverton. The neighborhood also attracts homebuyers for its tight-knit feel. “Residents here are really connected to the community,” Camden McKone, Lewelling Neighborhood District Association Chair says. “A lot of the older folks here have been around for a long time.”

From midcentury ranches to large, renovated two-story homes

The homes of Lewelling stand in neat lines along winding and well-kept neighborhood blocks. Homebuyers looking in the area will find mostly midcentury ranches and bungalows, with a few large renovated two-story homes as well. Homes here sit on moderately sized lots and virtually everyone has at least a bit of lawn space and takes pride in the presentation. “I think it’s one of the nicer pockets in the area that is formal Milwaukie,” said Mark Wade, an area resident. Midcentury ranches and bungalows go for between $360,000 and $620,000, while larger two-story homes for can go for as much as $925,000. One of the draws of Lewelling is that it’s less expensive than some of the surrounding areas, but still close enough to them. For instance, many who live in the neighborhood work in Portland. Lewelling isn’t far from Oregon Route 99E, which is one of the connective links to Portland.

Plenty of green space to stretch residents' legs

Another of the appeals of Lewelling is its walkability — some sections include sidewalks, and people take advantage, pushing strollers or taking their dog out for a walk. One spot to stroll is Lewelling Park, which has plenty of open field space that would be ideal for a picnic. Another park, Ball-Michel, is located less than a mile away, and includes a playground and a picnic area. Just about a mile north of the neighborhood is Errol Heights City Park, which is currently undergoing an extensive project that will reimagine the 16-acre park with restored natural areas, wildlife viewing spots, better ADA access on trails, an elevated walkway and many other additions.
Lewelling Park enjoys wide open green space as well as bench and picnic seating.

Students attend the North Clackamas School District

Children in Lewelling would attend the North Clackamas School District for public school. As a part of that district, they would start at Ardenwald Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through fifth grade and encourages reading by organizing weekly visits to the school library for all classes. Ardenwald earned a B-minus grade from Niche. In sixth grade, students move on to Rowe Middle School, which received a C grade from Niche. For high school, students move on to Milwaukie High School, which earned a B-minus grade from Niche. Milwaukie, in 2023, received national recognition for its efforts to provide inclusive sports and activities for students with and without intellectual disabilities. The National Banner recognition was from Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools.

Lewelling’s Concert in the Park series

Ball-Michel Park has recently hosted Lewelling’s neighborhood “Concert in the Park” series, with live musical performances on Wednesday nights across the month of August. “The concert series is put on by all of the money the NDA fundraises throughout the year at various events,” McKone says.

Close proximity to public transportation options

For commuters, in addition to Oregon Route 99E, Lewelling is just a couple of miles from Southeast Tacoma/Johnson Creek light rail station, on the orange line, which goes to downtown Portland. Multiple TriMet bus stops also line Southeast King Street, Lewelling’s southern border. Downtown Portland is a 7-mile drive from Lewelling. Also, the Providence Milwaukie Hospital is located just outside of Lewelling. The 77-bed facility includes an emergency room. For those looking to get out of town, Portland International Airport is a 12-mile drive from the neighborhood.

Hole in the wall Thai and Mexican food

Grocery shopping in the area can be had less than a mile south of the neighborhood, at a Safeway supermarket off Southeast King Road. And one of the supermarket’s neighbors, within the King Road Shopping Center there, is King Curry Thai Cuisine — a hole-in-the-wall spot pumping out quality Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and more. Other residents enjoy heading over to Taqueria Portland, known for its reasonably priced Mexican food. For those looking for a day of shopping, Clackamas Promenade is just 3 miles from Lewelling and includes stores like Nordstrom Rack and Old Navy.
