About Happy Valley

Happy Valley is a community of approximately 24,060 residents in Clackamas County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Rapidly growing upscale suburb with large-lot single-family homes and a new town center retail complex on Sunnyside Road.

Large two-story single-family homes on 5,000–10,000 sq ft lots in newer planned communities with commercial mixed-use at the town center.

Local Considerations

  • Steep terrain and new construction on previously forested slopes create erosion and stormwater runoff challenges.
  • Wildland-urban interface along the eastern boundary increases wildfire exposure for homes backing to forested parkland.

Water System

Sunrise Water Authority provides service drawing from the Clackamas River with a separate treatment system from Portland.

Emergency Access

Sunnyside Road and 172nd Avenue are the primary routes but steep side streets in newer developments can challenge apparatus access.
