Community on Oregon City's upper terrace
Rivercrest sits on Oregon City's upper terrace where the river crests before heading down Willamette Falls, where a combination of volcanic eruptions and ice age floods cut three terraces into the land at the base. “It’s a really nice community, you’re close to downtown but are still a little further up the hill,” says Steve Seislove, A Realtor with John L Scott Real Estate Gold Properties, Lake Oswego, who sells homes in the area. It takes less than five minutes to reach Oregon City’s active downtown strip.
The elevated views in Rivercrest offer scenic glimpses of nearby forests and hills.

Homes built after the war
Stretching 330 acres along the northwest corner of the upper terrace, Rivercrest is filled with craftsman-style homes from the 1930s on the same blocks as minimalist traditional, ranch-style and split-level houses that were popular in the following decades. These homes sit on quarter-acre lots that leave space for a small front lawn, a driveway, and in most cases, an attached two-car garage. Sidewalks are less common in Rivercrest but minimal traffic allows residents to walk to nearby parks.
Single-family homes here range from $350,000 to $825,000, making the neighborhood more affordable than the average Oregon City neighborhood. Houses with recent renovations and over 2,000 square feet sell for between $600,000 and $800,000, while two-bedroom ranch-style homes can go for $350,000 to $550,000.

Driving to Portland or Salem
Rivercrest has three major thoroughfares, Interstate 205, state Route 99E state Route 213. For those headed south to Canby or Salem, there’s OR-99E. For anyone headed further south near Mulino, a smaller town, Route 213 is the way to go. I-205 can get congested as one of the main arteries into Portland, particularly on weekday mornings and afternoons. "If you’re going south on I-205, it goes from five lanes to two lanes until you get right past the bridge over the Willamette,” Sieslove says.
Your morning commute from Rivercrest takes you across 99E.
