Hillsboro, Oregon

Hillsboro has had some major renovations in the past few years, focusing on the Orenco Station area in particular. Orenco Station has a great shopping center at its heart, giving this a very local, community feel. Brownstone townhomes make this an extremely attractive area. An active Saturday Market offers shoppers fresh produce from local family farms that have been in the area for many years. Fruits of the season, and fresh greens are a main staple of the Saturday Market fare.

“Orenco Station has been closely studied nationally and internationally as a case study of transit-oriented and New Urbanist development in a suburban context. Bruce Podobnik, a sociologist at Lewis and Clark College, completed a study in 2002 that showed comparatively high levels of resident satisfaction and “social capital”, or interaction between neighbors. Transit use was also relatively high in the study”22% for commuting, versus about 6% in the region overall.”

The added feature of having the MAX — Metro Portland’s light rail train system — with many stops along the way, offering commuters a quick ride into work is another great advantage of owning a home here. Hillsboro is about one hour’s drive away for the Oregon Coast (heading due west), and heading east, you can find skiing year-round at world renowned Mt. Hood.

Work or play, the City of Hillsboro is a great place to call home!
