Welcome to the
Happy Valley Neighborhood
Aptly named, Happy Valley is a short ride from Portland City Center, but there’s plenty to keep you entertained here: miles of trails, dozens of shops, and handfuls of hidden gems you’ll soon discover.
We’re a
community.
Happy Valley believes “a city that plays together stays together,” and play we do.
