Johnson City, OR

Johnson City is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Oregon, tucked into Clackamas County with a population of around 500 residents. Spanning roughly 40 acres centered around Lake Leona, the entire community has the feel of a single, quiet neighborhood. Originally established around a manufactured home park in 1970, it has kept a simple, down-to-earth character where neighbors look out for each other.

For newcomers exploring the Portland suburbs, Johnson City offers a quiet residential setting alongside great access to the rest of the metro area. Sitting right between Gladstone and Clackamas, the area is just minutes from shopping at Clackamas Town Center, local dining, and easy connections to I-205. It is a great fit for anyone looking for an affordable, tucked-away spot while staying close to daily conveniences and parks along the nearby Clackamas River.
