Small town charm, big city amenities Just off McLoughlin and Vineyard Road, Vineyard Place Retirement Community sits just off the main drag in downtown Milwaukie. This location offers almost a park-like setting, set back from the street with lots of lawn and wonderful trees and flowers. The neighborhood is quiet, quaint, and residential - perfect for morning strolls. Its no wonder why, as Milwaukie was recently named one of the 50 best places to raise a family. The city provides a wonderful environment of beautiful, safe neighborhoods, as well as good transportation, excellent health care, and many cultural opportunities. While the Vineyard neighborhood is ôoff the main dragö, its remains close to cinemas, shopping, parks, the historic B17G bomber, the Willamette Riverà as well as everything else this wonderful city has to offer. In addition to regular activities, Vineyard Place residents also enjoy Festival Daze, a wonderful yearly celebration of the town of Milwaukie. Downtown parades, carnivals, live entertainment, helicopter rides, a street dance, fun run, dog show, bingo, great food, and arts and crafts are just a few of the many things one can expect. Also included in The Festival Daze activities is a celebration of Oregon Bing cherries, first discovered in downtown Milwaukie. There are cherry cookoffs, a pie eating contests, a farmer's market, cherry pit spitting contests, as well as historical exhibits about the Bing and Leweling families. |
