A town called Boring has to have a sense of humor. Every August, Boring celebrates Boring and Dull Day in recognition of the international travel-friendly partnership formed between the local Boring community and the village of Dull in Scotland.
Boring embraces the absurdity of its name with the community motto: “The most exciting place to live.” And Boring is an exciting place to live, especially for those seeking a naturally beautiful environment with a peaceful atmosphere just minutes away from a major metropolitan area — Portland sits just 20 miles northwest of the community.
Rentals in Boring tend to be located in the far western or far eastern stretches of the community, offering scenic views in tranquil neighborhoods. Central Boring exudes a classic small-town vibe with a slew of locally owned restaurants and shops clustered on Clackamas-Boring Highway No. 174. Opportunities for enjoying the outdoors abound near Boring, with easy access to Mount Hood National Forest and countless multi-use trails.
