I absolutely love Hillsboro. I came here close to three years ago and it’s probably been the best decision I’ve ever had. Not only is it an hour away from the coast, hiking trails, waterfalls, etc, but it also has Portland really close by. You can do so much here and the opportunities seem nearly endless. One big pro as well is how incredibly kind the people are here and are willing to lend you a hand, if you come from somewhere else where people are a bit less kind, you’ll notice it right away. At the moment the one drawback I’d say is that I just wish there was slightly more specific food options in Hillsboro itself. However, while this sounds as if there are no food options, that’s completely untrue. All you need to do is explore. Oddly enough, I’ve encountered some amazing restaurants and food trucks just searching around. There’s too much to put in a tiny box, so do yourself a favor and come on down!
I've grown up my entire life in Hillsboro and was born in its downtown community hospital! It's a tight-knit experience only 45 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Portland. A diverse array of foods and stores can be found everywhere you go.
Along with the diversity of food, Hillsboro has a little bit of everything for people who love the countryside and the city. If you drive 15 miles away, you're immediately in the countryside. You drive in another direction for 15 miles, you're surrounded by shopping malls and upscale restaurants. The people of Hillsboro are always ready to lend a helping hand to one another and possess a unique Pacific Northwest charm.
For individuals who want a bit of city and countryside charm, Hillsboro is definitely the place.
In the summer, I highly recommend driving to the countryside and going blueberry picking in June and July. Muir Berry Farms is where my family personally likes to go.

Great small town feel with big city access! Hillsboro government services are top notch including both county and city police forces, beautiful courthouse, and various fire departments and hospitals.
The schools in Hillsboro are ever improving. During the pandemic that affected us all, Hillsboro officials made sure Covid 19 restrictions were followed and that everyone stayed safe.
Hillsboro neighborhoods vary from low income neighborhoods to above average luxury homes. There is farmland centers around the city forming its way into that small town feel. Downtown Hillsboro is fun and full of antique shops and restaurants, banks and city hall complete with a fountain for summertime fun.
The crime rate seems to be decreasing and the city as a whole seems to be improving. I even moved my 93 year young beautiful Grandmother to Hillsboro from La Grande and she now resides right across the street! Hillsboro is a wonderful place to call home.
