Burial in Durham, OR

About Durham

Durham is a community of approximately 1,950 residents in Washington County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Small residential enclave with mostly single-family homes built in the 1970s–1990s surrounded by Tigard on most sides.

Single-story ranch homes and modest two-story residences on compact lots typical of 1970s–80s suburban development.

Local Considerations

  • Fanno Creek bisects the town and places several dozen properties within the mapped floodplain.
  • Limited municipal resources mean the city relies entirely on Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue for emergency services.

Water System

Residents receive water from the Tualatin Valley Water District, with the same Bull Run-sourced supply as greater Beaverton.

Emergency Access

Upper Boones Ferry Road and Durham Road provide the only through-routes, with no direct freeway access within city limits.

Full Coverage: Durham

Serving homes and businesses throughout Durham, including areas near Durham City Park, Fanno Creek Trail, Durham Elementary School, and surrounding neighborhoods. ZIP codes: 97224.

Pricing Note: Home values are slightly below neighboring Tigard due to smaller lot sizes and fewer commercial amenities within city limits.
