The median home in the city of Gladstone was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Oregon median of 1981. That is older than the Clackamas County median of 1985.1 Somewhat more of Gladstone's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 63% against 50%, with 10% built since 2010. The largest single share, 41%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Clackamas County as a whole (44% built before 1980).1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied homes in Gladstone are older than rentals: a median build year of 1974 against 1979.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Housing in Gladstone is mostly detached single-family: 62% of units, with 17% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 65% of occupied homes in Gladstone are owner-occupied, in line with the Oregon share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Gladstone is valued at $480,700 (ACS), close to the Oregon median of $477,600. Within Clackamas County the median is $611,000, so Gladstone sits below it.1
