Troutdale is full of blue collar folks, contractors working in Portland. The housing is overpriced due to Multnomah County, but the city is safer than the crime  More

Troutdale is a great place to live if you have to work in or near Portland. It is small with friendly people and the crime rate isn't as bad as other places close in.   More
