About Milwaukie

Milwaukie is a community of approximately 21,250 residents in Clackamas County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Compact postwar neighborhoods close to the MAX Orange Line with rising property values driven by Portland spillover demand.

Postwar bungalows and Cape Cod-style homes on small lots with newer infill duplexes and apartment buildings near the light rail station.

Local Considerations

  • Kellogg Creek and Johnson Creek corridors are flood-prone and several older homes sit within the updated FEMA floodplain.
  • Many homes were built in the 1940s–60s and may contain lead paint, asbestos insulation, or outdated knob-and-tube wiring.

Water System

City of Milwaukie sources water from the Clackamas River through its own intake and treatment facility.

Emergency Access

McLoughlin Boulevard (Highway 99E) is the main north-south route but railroad crossings cause intermittent delays for emergency vehicles.
