Middle housing allows options for people in different life stages who may prefer a home other than a traditional single-detached house.

Many households, regardless of income, struggle to afford single-detached homes in the greater Portland area. Even with a substantial down payment, competition for some homes is fierce.

Increasing the availability of middle housing in urban neighborhoods can create more affordable options for many in neighborhoods near schools, parks, shopping and workplaces.

Oregon House Bill 2001 requires all local governments to increase potential for development of middle housing in neighborhoods where single-detached homes are allowed. We amended our regulations to allow more of it in locations where you might expect to see only single-detached homes.

Many pre-1940s neighborhoods have both single-detached homes and middle housing. This created housing options right around the corner as people’s household size or needs changed.

But Aas time when on, entire neighborhoods of single-detached homes became more the norm, and middle housing options decreased. This made living in many neighborhoods unaffordable or inconvenient.

Reintroducing middle housing can help restore housing options to meet the needs changing needs household and community needs benefiting those who are:

  • Just starting out
  • Downsizing
  • Looking for homes that meet changing mobility and other physical needs
  • Hoping to stay in the same neighborhood

Most Washington County Land Use Districts that allow residential development also allow middle housing, as per requirements included in House Bill 2001.

A Neighborhood Meeting, required as part of the application process for many Type II and Type III developments, provides an opportunity for neighbors to learn and commend on proposed development plans.
