Happy Valley
Oregon's fastest-growing city, built on master-planned communities and brand-new construction.
Happy Valley is one of Oregon's fastest-growing cities, about 10 miles southeast of downtown Portland. This guide explains why it attracts so many east-side buyers: view lots, master-planned neighborhoods, parks and trails, and the region's most active new-construction market.
Happy Valley has grown from a quiet Clackamas County town into a city of roughly 30,000 residents, and it shows no signs of slowing. Large shares of its housing were built in the last two decades, which makes it the corridor's center of gravity for new construction.
The city is organized around master-planned communities with amenities built in: clubhouses, pools, parks, and trails connect neighborhoods like Pleasant Valley Villages and Scouters Mountain. Many homes sit on view lots, with ridgeline sites that catch Mount Hood sunrises and city lights.
For buyers who want modern floor plans, lower-maintenance living, and a built-in community, Happy Valley is the first place to start. Prices in recent builder data average in the high $600,000s for new homes, with a range of floor plans across the city.

Home styles Master-planned; most built since the early 2000s
