Happy Valley, Oregon SperlingViews

I just recently moved from the Northeast and we love it here. Slower pace than major metro areas but not too slow. Downtown is only 15 minutes drive as well as airport. Many outdoor activities which we love the most. They call Portland as Silicon Forest for its Intel, AMD, and other IT related firms have their house in Beaverton.

Nice Place To Live - 9/30/2011

Happy Valley, OR is a great place to live. Just east of Portland its on a hill where you could see the beautiful city(Portland) in the valley. All the beautiful lights in the downtown area, the birds and bat singing, the insects dancing, and me enjoying all this from my balcony. I just moved to my new apartment 2 monthIs ago and love the few from my apartment looking down at night to the city of Portland. Its seems so peaceful and relax. I have great neighbors and starting to make new friends. I hope to live here through the winter and if I can survive the rain, Happy Valley will be my new home for a couple of years.[read more...]

Damascus - 7/16/2010

Damascus is a quiet community just East of Portland. We are close to Gresham, Clackamas, and Boring/Sandy. There is farm land out this way, nice friendly people and the schools are good. It is rural but close enough to the cities near by for provisions and careers/schools. [read more...]
