About Durham

Durham is a community of approximately 1,950 residents in Washington County, OR. With a median home value of $490,000, homeowners here have significant property to protect.

Small residential enclave with mostly single-family homes built in the 1970s–1990s surrounded by Tigard on most sides.

Single-story ranch homes and modest two-story residences on compact lots typical of 1970s–80s suburban development.

Risk Factors

  • Fanno Creek bisects the town and places several dozen properties within the mapped floodplain.
  • Limited municipal resources mean the city relies entirely on Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue for emergency services.

Water System

Residents receive water from the Tualatin Valley Water District, with the same Bull Run-sourced supply as greater Beaverton.

Emergency Access

Upper Boones Ferry Road and Durham Road provide the only through-routes, with no direct freeway access within city limits.
