Rural and urban meet in Clackamas County

As Oregon City spreads into Clackamas County, the neighborhood of Caufield blends the suburban subdivisions into the rural lands. But despite getting a little more space for growth, the community is a close one, says Jarrod Lyman, Community Communications Manager for Oregon City. “The Caufield neighborhood is an involved neighborhood, they have one of the highest attendances at their neighborhood association meetings, they’re involved and care about their community.” This helps to make Caufield a welcoming landing spot for residents looking to be a little closer to everything downtown Oregon City has to offer while still living on the edge of the Oregon countryside.

Newer homes in a growing neighborhood

Being on the expanding edge of a city means there is a great variety of home options in Caufield, and more coming up as the city grows. “There’s a lot of growth starting to happen out in that direction,” Lyman points out, as land continues to be developed – this can be seen in the amount of recently built houses on the market. Homes range from neatly laid-out subdivisions, to manufactured homes in tight quarters, to single-family ranch-style homes sitting on acres of land. This means there’s often a wide spread of homes on market – manufactured housing often sells in the $150,000 to $200,000 range, excluding monthly lot rent. Townhouses regularly fetch between $350,000 and $450,000, while single-family homes generally go for between $475,000 and $700,000. Townhouses and single-family homes almost always include off-street parking, generally in the form of a two-car garage.

Career-focused charter options

Students in Caufield usually start out at Beavercreek or Redland Elementary School, then move along to Tumwata Middle School, all three of which receive a grade of C from Niche. Oregon City High School, which receives a B-minus from Niche, has a storied girls’ basketball program, and was previously honored as a Blue Ribbon School. This Oregon’s public charter school systems means that parents may also opt to send their child to a charter academy such as Alliance Charter Academy and Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences, for career-focused curriculum. Clackamas Community College is in the heart of the neighborhood, providing further secondary education – “They’re a pillar of the community, they do a lot of events there,” says Lyman.

Getting around Caufield

Living in Caufield is not as convenient as living in the heart of Oregon City. The neighborhood is somewhat bikeable, but not particularly walkable, and public transit is minimal. Particularly in the areas on the edge of neighborhood, a car will be needed for daily errands and getting to work. One will also be needed to get to Portland International Airport, the closest airport for commercial flights, which is 20 miles away, usually a drive of 25 to 30 minutes. Similarly, the closest hospital providing round-the-clock emergency care, Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center, is five miles away, regularly a 10-minute drive.

Local faves and night-out options

Lil’ Cooperstown Bar and Grill is a local favorite serving pub grub in a sports-themed space, while Abby’s Legendary Pizza, an Oregon-based chain, offers pizzas, sandwiches and more. For a night out, Lyman says, many locals head out of the neighborhood to the downtown - “Our Main Street District has undergone a renaissance, it’s become a destination for people in the community.” It’s home to breweries and wine bars, as well as fine dining options. In the neighborhood, Berry Hill Shopping Center features an Albertsons and big box stores, while just outside of it Southridge Shopping Center is home to a Fred Meyer and more. Residents can also take care of their weekly shop at the Oregon City Farmers Market, on the college campus, says Lyman - “It’s a fantastic year-round Farmer’s Market, local and regional producers from Clackamas County.”

Oregonians love to get outside

“We have some really great neighborhood parks throughout the community, they’re points of pride for the neighborhoods,” says Lyman. Recently constructed Tyrone S. Woods Memorial Park sits in the middle of Caufield, with concrete pathways and open green space adjoining wetlands. One of the biggest draws is the three-quarter acre fenced dog park where pups and owners alike can socialize. For residents seeking a little more intense activity, Newell Creek Canyon Nature Park is just to the northwest and features a network of hiking and mountain biking trails under groves of bigleaf maples. Local wildlife can be spotted throughout the park, and a waterfall awaits those who venture deep into the canyon. For folks who prefer the greens of a course over the greens of overhanging leaves, the Oregon City Golf Club and Stone Creek Golf Club are both adjacent to Caufield.

The first city; a city of firsts

Few events occur within Caufield, but events in the heart of Oregon City draw the community out, says Lyman. “One of the events that has huge turnout is the Concerts in the Park series that our Parks and Rec department puts on, there’s a wide variety of music each week. One week it might be blues, the next week it might be pop, then it might be country.” These concerts run through July and early August. “The history of Oregon City is a key part of the community’s identity,” says Lyman, “We’re the first incorporated city west of the Mississippi River.” The annual First City Celebration in June celebrates this, with live music, vendors, a kid’s zone and more.
