Beaverton is a normal town that is a very good distance from Portland and other towns around. My favorite parts about this town include the location, the diverse and common nature preservation areas, and the affordability. Beaverton is in the middle of the road for many things, and that holds especially true for its location and affordability. Located next to the country, the city, and other towns around, Beaverton is a perfect spot for getting places quick. Money is also not a worry here either, as there are generally expensive and inexpensive options for anything everywhere. There are many large and small businesses and corporations of just about everything, including eateries, stores, and businesses. There are some downsides though. There are many underdeveloped areas with no sidewalks, old buildings and sometimes unsafe situations at night. There are also numerous amounts of construction happening all the time here and it is increasing significantly every year. Beaverton is solid!
It's been a good place to live, but recently not as safe as before and housing is not affordable anymore. There are increasing homeless, and a more distressed population. Transportation is pretty easy to access and the location is not too far from most places. Schools are better than other areas of Portland. The present mayor supports small businesses, both existing and new start-up companies, but is not keeping the feel of the neighborhoods of Beaverton the same as the population growth of the town expands as far as new housing choices that are being built. They are building huge apartment complexes that look like "Project " housing. The new theater Arts Building sounds amazing though.
I have lived in Beaverton for all of my childhood, and that has significantly impacted my life. It is a very safe town, and I feel comfortable taking jogs and bike rides around town to grab food or enjoy the fresh air of the Pacific Northwest. Public transportation, while dirty, is efficient and covers the entire area. However, it needs some improvements. Beaverton, while containing an enormous amount of diversity and strength of community, is lacking in children's centers or museums. As a child, my parents would always have to take me to Portland or to the mountains in order to find some sort of educational entertainment for me. Beaverton is a lovely area, and I am glad to have grown up here.
