What is Portland doing at No. 7? And how happy is Happy Valley? Keep reading, because we Sherwood like to tell you. The following paragraphs will explain how we got our list and will focus on the best parts of each city and just what makes them so special.<\/p>\n<h2>What Makes an Awesome City?<\/h2>\n<p>A lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/or\/moving-to-oregon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">things make a city awesome,<\/a> but in order to find these best cities in Oregon, we needed a list of measurable criteria across the board. So we came up with these eight:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amenities<\/li>\n<li>Cost of living (percent above or below state\u2019s average)<\/li>\n<li>Crime rate<\/li>\n<li>Education<\/li>\n<li>Median household income<\/li>\n<li>Home value<\/li>\n<li>Distance to closest 5-star rated hiking<\/li>\n<li>Distance to closest ski resort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We started with a list of the 50 most populous cities in Oregon and ranked them from one to 50 in each of the criteria above, with one being the best. Then, we averaged the numbers for each city, gave them an overall Big Deal Score\u2014the lower the number, the higher the city ranked.<br \/>\nNow that you know how we did it. Read on to find out just why each of our top 10 cities are so special and where they excelled.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Bend<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19519\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19519\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19519 \" title=\"Bend - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Bend - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/1.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"352\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Visit Bend Oregon<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThis city certainly didn\u2019t have to bend over backward to make it to the top of our list\u2014it won outright. Bend is not only just a few miles away from some of the best hiking trails and ski resorts in Oregon, but it also has a stellar education system, with a high school graduation rate 10 percent higher than the state average, and some of the highest home values in the state as well.<br \/>\nOver the past five years, Bend\u2019s population has been booming. Outdoor enthusiasts flock from far and wide for parks like Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint, skiers to Mount Bachelor, and runners to the Haulin\u2019 Aspen Trail Marathon. It truly is a wonderful place to raise a family\u2014or at least, raise your heart rate.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Sherwood<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19520\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19520\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19520 \" title=\"Sherwood - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Sherwood - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/2.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"391\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soruce: Flickr user brookscl<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nJust southwest of Portland lies the little gem that is Sherwood. Sherwood may be a few miles further away from the closest five-star hiking trails and ski resorts, but it more than makes up for it with its other features. It is one of the safest cities in Oregon, with a crime rate 67 percent lower than the state average, it is one of the best paid cities in the state with an average household income of $83,000, and their kids are smart! High school graduation rates in Sherwood are 15 percent higher than the Oregon average.<br \/>\nAnd if that doesn\u2019t do it for you, just stop by Crazy Sushi. The food is so good, you might not need another reason to move to Sherwood.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Beaverton<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19521\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19521\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19521 \" title=\"Beaverton - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Beaverton - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/3.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"397\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr user Beaverton Historical Society<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nBeaverton\u2019s sheer level of awesomeness is no secret; in fact, it has been hailed for years as one of the best cities in the U.S., let alone in Oregon. Over the past few years, Forbes has named it not only one of the best places to retire, but one of the 100 best places to live in general.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s no wonder. Beaverton has plenty of local amenities, it has a crime rate 31 percent lower than the state\u2019s average, and it is only a few miles away from the highly rated trails at Washington Park. And if going for a hike isn\u2019t your thing, don\u2019t worry\u2014Beaverton was ranked of the most walking-friendly cities by Prevention Magazine.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Milwaukie<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19522\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19522\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19522 \" title=\"Milwaukie - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Milwaukie - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/4.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"392\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user Misserion<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nMilwaukie comes in at No. 4 for its top rankings, not just in outdoor activities like Mount Talbert\u2019s trails or Mount Hood\u2019s slopes, but also for its absolutely awesome annual income and safety. Milwaukie residents make six percent more, on average, than the rest of the state, and with a crime rate eight percent lower than average, residents won\u2019t even need to worry about guarding their purses.<br \/>\nThey also rank high when it comes to amenities, with delightfully idyllic and delicious places like the Painted Lady for some hot cocoa, Bob\u2019s Red Mill for some potato soup, and the North Clackamas Aquatic Park&#8211; in the summer of course.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Oregon City<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19523\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19523\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19523 \" title=\"Oregon City - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Oregon City - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/5.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"440\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Oregon City<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nImagine a land where you\u2019re just five miles from some of the best hiking in the state at Mount Talbert Nature Park; where you get paid\u201421 percent higher than the rest of the state, at that\u2014to live amongst some of the most breathtaking nature in the country. Well, for residents of Oregon City, this is a reality.<br \/>\nOf course if you\u2019d rather hike your clubs over your shoulder and head to a golf course, Oregon City offers one of the state\u2019s finest, the Stone Creek Golf Club, and if you\u2019d rather just leave hiking out of it, you can simply take the elevator\u2014the Oregon City Municipal Elevator, that is. It\u2019s a wonderful piece of Oregon history\u2014plus, the view is incredible.<br \/>\n[php snippet=1]<\/p>\n<h2>6. Tigard<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19524\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19524\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19524 \" title=\"Tigard - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Tigard - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/6.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"441\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: www.tigardballoon.org<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nTigard, home of Cook Park and land of the well paid. But let\u2019s start with the latter. The median household income here is a healthy $62,000\u201434 percent higher than the state\u2019s average. What can residents do with all that extra cash? Well, they can go to the city\u2019s largest park, Cook Park, for starters. But there are also little gems like the Tigard Farmers Market and Tigard Bowl.<br \/>\nFor a day to appreciate beauty indoors, residents can hop over to Live Laugh Love Glass, and for a day of natural beauty, they\u2019re just a short drive away from some of the best trails in the state at Mount Talbert Nature Park.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Portland<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19525\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19525\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19525 \" title=\"Portland - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Portland - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/7.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"390\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user GregDawson<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nIn recent years, Portland has become everybody\u2019s favorite hipster city, due to shows like \u201cPortlandia\u201d and, well, all the hipsters there. But there is so much more to Portland. For one\u2014did you know that the cost of living in Portland is actually pretty low compared to a lot of other cities in Oregon? And that their home values are 35 percent higher than the Oregon average?<br \/>\nPortland is breathtaking. St. Johns Bridge, the Lan Su Chinese Gardens, the Portland Japanese Gardens, and Pittock Mansion are just a handful of the man-made attractions in the city. And as far as natural beauty goes, there is Forest Park, the Aspen Trailhead trail, Mount Hood for skiing, the Hoyt Arboretum\u2026 And the list goes on and on. In fact, the only reason Portland didn\u2019t come in closer to the top seems to be its crime rate&#8211; 79 percent higher than the state\u2019s average. But hey, it\u2019s a big city. No hard feelings, Portland.<\/p>\n<h2>8. West Linn<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19526\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19526\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19526 \" title=\"West Linn - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"West Linn - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/8.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"416\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user PhotoAtelier<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWhat West Linn lacks in big city livin\u2019, it more than makes up for with its low crime rate (64 percent lower than the state average!), its stellar education system (a high school graduation rate 16 percent higher than Oregon\u2019s average!), and its median household income (an average of $84,000).<br \/>\nThis is a town of holiday parades, fairs, and music at Tanner Creek Park. It is a great place to raise a family and a quiet town to come home to.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Lake Oswego<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19527\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19527\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19527 \" title=\"Lake Oswego - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Lake Oswego - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/9.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"392\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user pdxjeff<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nLake Oswego might be a suburb of Portland\u2014but this town stands on its own just fine, thank you. It is a cultural hub, home to the Lakewood Center for the Fine Arts and the Art Council of Lake Oswego; it is a family\u2019s fantasyland with its farmers\u2019 markets, Players game\/entertainment center, the best high school graduation rate, and the best home values in Oregon.<br \/>\nSo if you\u2019re looking for a nice, quaint, and picturesque vacation spot, visit Lake Oswego. If you want a great place to raise your family\u2014move there.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Happy Valley<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_19528\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19528\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19528 \" title=\"Happy Valley - Best Cities in Oregon\" alt=\"Happy Valley - Best Cities in Oregon\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/10\/Oregon\/images\/10.jpg\" width=\"587\" height=\"393\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Happy Valley<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRounding out our list is the happiest-sounding place in Oregon. And it turns out, residents have a reason to smile here. Happy Valley is rated the safest city on our list, with a crime rate 74 percent lower than the state average. Their high school graduation rate comes in second only to Lake Oswego\u2019s, and their median household income is a whopping 124 percent higher than the state\u2019s average. That\u2019s a median household income of over $100,000 per year.<br \/>\nAnd if Happy Valley\u2019s high income, virtual absence of crime, and excellent schools don\u2019t quite do it for you, don\u2019t you worry\u2014there is more. Happy Valley is home to great shopping at the Clackamas Town Center, and if you happen to prefer a golf bag to a shopping bag, head over to Eagle Landing Golf Course\u2014surely one of the happiest in the state.<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Cities in the State OR in the Country<\/h2>\n<p>There you have it, Oregonians and future Oregonians alike.
