amenities? middle aged lady. I've looked for a small house, nice, quiet street, pretty area, near amenities. Could not find affordable in Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard, Tualatin or Wilson. Oregon City has some nice houses. Is it safe? And where in OC is best?

For recent Oregon City crime data, check out this web page: http://web5.co.clackamas.or.us/pmap/

The page sometimes loads a bit slowly, but it shows crime types and locations throughout Clackamas County (including Oregon City) for the most recently available three-month period.

Good Luck,

Hello Cprono,

Everybody has their own comfort levels regarding safety. I was born in Oregon City, grew up in West Linn when it was just a small mill town and have worked in OC and have friends who continue to live in Oregon City. Myself, I would not feel uncomfortable living in that community. Like anyplace that you move you should do your homework. Drive around the neighborhoods,especially on a weekend. Do you feel comfortable there? There is nothing better than your own instincts. Maybe visit a park and talk to the people who live there. If you belong to a church visit one the Oregon City churches.

As Realtors our licensing prevents us from directing you to specific neighborhoods. For crime data there are many websites that provide that information but your best source is always the local police department, they can give you answers to questions that concern you the most. Here is the OCPD website with links and phone numbers. http://www.orcity.org/police.

"Safe" is relative, but I think Oregon City is a terrific town to live in!

What is your price range and what type of home are you looking for?
