A South Portland suburb with established homes and tree-lined streets
Between the Willamette River and Interstate 205, Oatfield is a densely populated Portland suburb with residential lanes lined with evergreens, oaks and maples. In the northwestern corner of Clackamas County, Oatfield is home to roughly 13,000 residents, with quiet residential streets just a short drive from the convenient shopping centers along McLoughlin Boulevard and the Milwaukie Expressway. “It’s a well-established area, and old-growth trees and foliage give it a natural atmosphere,” says Jimmy Bacon, a local Realtor with eXp Realty. With easy access to Oregon Route 99E, many residents commute around 10 miles to Downtown Portland for work, where major industries include healthcare, electronics and outdoor wear. Additionally, major employers in Clackamas County include the county government, Clackamas Community College and the Willamette Falls Hospital.

Modern developments sit between late 20th century and early 20th century subdivisions
Most homes in Oatfield were built between the 1960s and the early 2000s, with split-levels, ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals making up the market. Some newer builds can be found in subdivisions like Josephine Estates and Cooper Heights, with modern-traditional style architecture. The median home price in Oatfield is $530,000, which is significantly lower than the Clackamas County median, according to the National Association of Realtors. “You’ll find more affordable neighborhoods on the east side of the Willamette River,” Bacon says. “Lower prices are one of the biggest draws to Oatfield. You get affordability while still being within a 15-minute drive from Downtown Portland.”
Newer homes with large garages can be found throughout Oatfield, like this home on SE Robhil Dr.

The 85-acre Meldrum Bar Park is a popular spot for boating and fishing in the warmer months and is also home to picnic tables, sports facilities and a community garden. Also nearby, Mount Talbert Nature Park offers 4 miles of trails that wind through mature evergreen woodlands. The North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District organizes numerous local sports leagues and activities for all ages, from dance and horseback riding to aquatic programs and art classes.
