About Boring

Boring is a community of approximately 8,750 residents in Clackamas County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Unincorporated rural community on Highway 212 with a small commercial core and residential properties on 1-plus-acre lots.

Custom-built homes on large wooded lots, older farmhouses, and manufactured homes scattered along Highway 212.

Local Considerations

  • Heavily wooded lots with Douglas fir and western red cedar create significant wildfire fuel loads during dry summers.
  • Highway 212 is a narrow two-lane road with limited sight distance, resulting in frequent vehicle accidents near the town core.

Water System

All properties on private wells drawing from the Boring Lava aquifer system with generally good water quality.

Emergency Access

Highway 212 is the sole arterial route and closures due to accidents can cut off the community from western services.
