About Sandy

Sandy is a community of approximately 12,280 residents in Clackamas County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Mount Hood gateway town with a walkable downtown and family-oriented subdivisions growing steadily on the west and south sides.

Older Craftsman-style homes near downtown with newer two-story family homes in planned subdivisions and rural properties on the periphery.

Local Considerations

  • Mount Hood lahar zone extends into the Sandy River valley, posing catastrophic volcanic mudflow risk to lower-elevation properties.
  • Winter ice storms frequently close Highway 26 and knock out power for extended periods in surrounding rural areas.

Water System

City operates a surface water intake on the Sandy River with a modern treatment facility upgraded in 2019.

Emergency Access

Highway 26 is the sole east-west route and winter closures can require lengthy detours through Estacada or the Gorge.
