Kelly Creek pairs hillside green space with everyday convenience, giving residents a quiet pocket of Gresham that still connects easily to the rest of the metro. Streets curve toward the buttes, where sunrise views and songbirds set the tone, and weekend plans often start at the switchback trails and panoramic overlook of Hogan Butte Nature Park, an elevated retreat managed by the City of Gresham. Cyclists and runners appreciate the accessible miles of the Springwater Corridor, a paved route that links to parks, creeks, and destinations toward Portland.
Families are drawn to the neighborhood’s schools in the Gresham-Barlow School District. Kelly Creek Elementary School anchors the community with a friendly campus and active parent involvement, while Gordon Russell Middle School and Sam Barlow High School offer robust academics, arts, and athletics that keep calendars full from fall tournaments to spring concerts.
Day-to-day needs are covered by nearby grocers, coffeehouses, and services along SE Powell and SE Orient corridors, and downtown Gresham’s dining and seasonal events are just minutes away. Commuters have straightforward options via arterial roads to MAX stations and major employers across east Multnomah County.
Whether you’re upsizing for more room near trailheads or right-sizing close to schools, Kelly Creek delivers a practical, outdoorsy lifestyle. When it’s time to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a knowledgeable local real estate pro to guide every step.
