Hillsboro is a great small town in the western suburbs of Portland. It has a wide variety of activities to do whether you are an outdoors person or want to explore local breweries! Families will love this area as there are so many schools throughout this area to meet their childrens needs. Very dog friendly town if you have a furry friend at home that also loves to explore new places! Only 30 minutes away from downtown Portland, why not go out for the night on the town! If you also enjoy the beach, take a ride on Highway 26 to explore the Oregon Coast! There are so many places to see and go, why not explore what Hillsboro has to offer!
Hillsboro has become quite 'bougie' for Oregon, with both positive and negative results. On one hand, I never have to leave town to shop or enjoy fine dining (or food trucks) from a dizzying array of cuisines. The light rail system is amazing to anyone who grew up without one, and is the cleanest I've ever used, although protection for riders could be improved. If you love gardening, the climate here is heaven and you'll find yourself outside no matter how often it drizzles. Summer is a best-kept secret because it doesn't rain! The biggest drawback is the boom in growth, the Valley is overbuilt already and many farms, greenspaces, and wild areas are being changed irreversibly for this growth. However, if you're someone who enjoys leaving a smaller carbon footprint, you can be part of that here and find a community of like minds who will help and cheer you on.
Hillsboro is the county seat of Washington County Oregon. It has technology, manufacturing, farming, and a cute downtown area with great walkability. There are a lot of walking trails throughout the area and great parks.
We have several farmers markets in the area, including one in the downtown Hillsboro area.
There is a mix of big box and smaller stores to get everything you need. There are multiple options for grocery stores and specialty food stores. The public transportation system in this region is very good. Hillsboro City Hall and the county offices sit at one of the termini of the region's light rail system. Hillsboro also has a small airport.
Hillsboro is just over an hour from the coast in one direction and the mountains to take in some skiing in the other.
Hillsboro has a mix of housing. Condos and apartments are being built all over the area. One of their best features is these planned communities have shop spaces under them.
It is a very livable place.
