About Damascus

Damascus is a community of approximately 10,950 residents in Clackamas County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Semi-rural unincorporated area with large-lot homes and hobby farms that voted to disincorporate in 2016, reverting to county governance.

Large-lot single-family homes on 1–5 acre parcels with outbuildings, plus scattered hobby farms and equestrian properties.

Local Considerations

  • Unincorporated status means no municipal fire department, with response depending on Clackamas Fire District from stations miles away.
  • Private septic systems on clay soils fail at elevated rates, creating health hazards and costly replacement requirements.

Water System

Residents rely entirely on private wells drawing from the Damascus basalt aquifer with no municipal water service.

Emergency Access

Foster Road and Highway 212 are the only through-routes, with narrow rural lanes providing limited secondary access.

Full Coverage: Damascus

Serving homes and businesses throughout Damascus, including areas near Damascus Pioneer Cemetery, Sunshine Valley Farm, Rock Creek Trail, and surrounding neighborhoods. ZIP codes: 97089.

Pricing Note: Acreage properties command premiums but the disincorporation has created planning uncertainty that suppresses speculative development pricing.
