Hector Campbell Apartments for Rent

The Hector Campbell neighborhood was named after a pioneer educator, legislative representative, and probate judge. The suburban neighborhood gives a feeling of space with its cute bungalows, classic condos, and sprawling ranch homes. Apartments are available in the community. Schools are in walking distance.

Residents and visitors use automobiles or the Tri-Met for transportation needs in the neighborhood and beyond. Air and rail travel is minutes away at Portland International Airport and the Amtrak Union Station.

The neighborhood is close to the attractions of Milwaukie. A city named after Milwakee, Wisconsin, it is said that Milwaukie was spelled differently to avoid confusion at the post office. Once known as Dogwood City, Milwaukie has the distinction of being the birthplace of the Bing cherry.

Old Milwaukie, or Downtown Milwaukie, is going through a revitalization period. The Milwaukie Art and Artisan Market showcase the art, photography, sculpture, and crafts of local artists in indoor and outdoor settings. The event begins in June and continues every Sunday.

The Bomber Gas Station and Restaurant is a combination gas station and family friendly restaurant with a menu of home style food found at an American diner. The bomber, a surplus World War II B-17G, was acquired in 1947 by Art Lacey and found its home in Milwaukie. Known as Lady Lacey, after Lacey’s British wife, the familiar Portland landmark is an offbeat tourist attraction. The history of the plane and how it got to Milwaukie is interesting enough. Lacey was not a licensed pilot, but read flight manuals while flying planes.

In Portland, the 3.25-acre Vietnam Veterans of Oregon Memorial honors Oregonians who have served, perished or reported missing in action during the Vietnam War. The peaceful setting includes towering trees and monuments along a path giving a history of Oregon and names of the veterans.
