Sandy is a small suburban city located about halfway between Portland and Mount Hood. This unique position makes it an ideal community for folks who want convenient access to the city for work or leisure while also taking advantage of the close proximity to the region’s stellar hiking, camping, and skiing opportunities. Perched on the edge of a sprawling national forest, residents of Sandy enjoy spectacular scenery from the natural surroundings, with the sun rising over the Cascades every day.

Predominately a residential community, Sandy features a lively commercial district along Mt. Hood Highway with a popular collective of cafes, pubs, and shops, plus larger shopping centers toward the west side of town. The diverse rental market includes a range of apartments, townhouses, and single-family homes to suit any taste or lifestyle.
