About Durham

Tucked right between Tigard and Tualatin, Durham is one of the smallest and quietest communities in the Portland metro area. Home to around 2,000 residents, it offers a peaceful, wooded setting with roots dating back to an old 19th-century mill on Fanno Creek. The city is almost purely residential, so the neighborhoods stay calm and free from commercial traffic, giving it a cozy, tucked-away atmosphere.

Bridge over Fanno Creek in Durham city park

Outdoor access is a major highlight here. Durham City Park covers roughly 45 acres along Fanno Creek, connecting directly to Tigard's Cook Park and Tualatin Community Park across the Ki-a-Kuts pedestrian bridge. For errands, dining, and shopping, residents head just down the road to Bridgeport Village or into neighboring Tigard and Tualatin. Families are served by the Tigard-Tualatin School District, making Durham a great spot for anyone looking for a leafy, low-key neighborhood with suburban conveniences right around the corner.
