Living in Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard
A city named for beaver dams that built toys and sneakers, a county seat that went from “Sin City” to the Silicon Forest, and a town that voted itself into existence by nineteen votes.
Beaverton City Park, downtown Beaverton
Beaverton
Place of the Beaver, home of the View-Master
The Atfalati, a subgroup of the Kalapuya people, called their village here Chakeipi — Place of the Beaver — and early settlers knew the wetland site as Beaverdam. The town was platted in 1868 as a stop on a new railway through the valley and incorporated in 1893 (Oregon Encyclopedia). Its quirkiest export came later: in 1950, Sawyer’s opened the plant in the Progress area that made the View-Master, the stereoscope toy that put 3-D picture reels in millions of hands; the site is now a Beaverton mall.
Tektronix moved its operations to Beaverton in 1959, and with neighboring Hillsboro the area was dubbed the Silicon Forest; Beaverton grew from about six thousand people in 1960 to over fifty thousand by 1990. Nike’s world headquarters — seventy-five buildings across three hundred acres by 2021 — sits on an unincorporated island of Washington County surrounded by the city (Oregon Encyclopedia). Downtown, the city claims over one hundred nature parks, and the Beaverton Farmers Market across from the City Library averages 15,000 to 20,000 visitors on a summer Saturday.
From “Sin City” to the heart of the Silicon Forest
Hillsboro is the Washington County seat, named for David Hill, a leader at the 1843 Champoeg meeting that formed Oregon’s provisional government; the first town plat came in 1850 and the town was renamed Hillsborough in his honor after he died that year. In the nineteenth century, the misbehavior of workers in the town’s four saloons earned it the nickname Sin City — and in 1913, determined to erase the image, Hillsboro voters prohibited the sale of liquor in town, six years before Prohibition (Oregon Encyclopedia).
In 1951, Tektronix began manufacturing oscilloscopes just east of town — the first seedling of the Silicon Forest. Today Intel’s four Washington County campuses, including the nearly 500-acre Gordon Moore Park at Ronler Acres, make Oregon the company’s U.S. innovation hub for leading-edge semiconductor research and manufacturing (Intel). The old Oregon Nursery Company town of Orenco became Orenco Station, a MAX-stop neighborhood of plazas and brownstones, and since April 2026 the Hillsboro Hops have played in a brand-new ballpark at the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex.
Tigard was East Butte until Charles Tigard’s general store brought a post office in 1887 and the name Tigardville; when the Oregon Electric Railway arrived, the railroad renamed its North Tigardville station Tigard to avoid confusion with its Wilsonville stop. Incorporation came remarkably late: after years of wrangling over a sewage crisis, voters approved cityhood in September 1961 by nineteen votes, and the new city started with 1,749 people (Oregon Encyclopedia). It now holds 57,929.
Modern Tigard runs from the shops of Washington Square and the small storefronts of Main Street to the slopes of Bull Mountain and River Terrace, a 500-acre area on the city’s western edge added to the region’s urban growth boundary in 2002. WES commuter trains have linked Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville since 2009, and every June the Tigard Festival of Balloons fills the sky over Cook Park on the Tualatin River (Oregon Encyclopedia).
What changed on Portland’s west side, and what the numbers say about the market this fall.
A new ballpark opened in April
The Hillsboro Hops opened their new ballpark with a six-game opening week starting April 7, 2026, hosting the Spokane Indians on Opening Night, with 66 home games in the inaugural season at the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex (Hillsboro Hops/MiLB).
Light rail runs deeper into Washington County
TriMet’s A Better Red project opened on August 28, 2024, extending the MAX Red Line west to serve 10 more stations, doubling light rail service between Beaverton Transit Center and Hillsboro Airport/Fairgrounds Station, and giving the west side a one-seat ride to Portland International Airport. Cost: $215 million, including six new trains (TriMet).
Prices have cooled, so pricing matters
Zillow’s typical home value for September 2026 was down from a year earlier in all three cities — 1.9% in Beaverton, 2.3% in Hillsboro and 0.9% in Tigard — while Portland edged up 0.5%. In a market like this, the first week’s price does more work than ever.
The Silicon Forest anchors are staying put
Intel runs four campuses in and around Hillsboro — Aloha, Gordon Moore Park at Ronler Acres, Hawthorn Farm and Jones Farm — and calls Oregon its U.S. innovation hub for leading-edge semiconductor research, development and manufacturing after more than 50 years in the state (Intel). Nike’s world headquarters spreads across three hundred acres beside Beaverton (Oregon Encyclopedia).

What homes here look like
Three cities, three ownership stories. Tigard is the most owner-occupied of the three at 61.7% of occupied homes, with a median owner-occupied home value of $610,500; Beaverton (50.5% owner-occupied, $569,800 median) and Hillsboro (50.2%, $521,100) split roughly evenly between owners and renters, reflecting the apartments that have grown up along the MAX lines (ACS 2020-2024).
Beaverton
Zillow’s typical value was $520,242 in September 2026, down 1.9% in a year. Mid-century ranches and split-levels fill the central neighborhoods, with newer subdivisions toward Progress Ridge and Sexton Mountain.
Hillsboro
Zillow’s typical value was $509,612 in September 2026, down 2.3% in a year — the most affordable of the three. Orenco Station’s plazas and brownstones anchor the townhome and condo supply; Tanasbourne and Reedville carry the single-family load.
Tigard
Zillow’s typical value was $598,717 in September 2026, down 0.9% in a year and the highest of the three. Bull Mountain’s view streets and the new homes of River Terrace sit above the established blocks around Summerlake and downtown.
Schools
Each city anchors its own district. The Beaverton School District runs 34 elementary schools, nine middle schools and six high schools plus option and charter schools, with nearly 37,500 students (Beaverton School District). The Hillsboro School District serves Hillsboro and nearby communities, and in November 2026 its voters passed Measure 34-355, letting the district invest $430 million in bond funds over the next five years (Hillsboro School District). The Tigard-Tualatin School District serves Tigard and Tualatin. District lines do not follow city limits everywhere, so check a specific home with each district’s own lookup.
The Census puts the average commute at 24.1 minutes in Beaverton and 22.9 in both Hillsboro and Tigard (ACS 2020-2024). MAX light rail ties the corridor together: since TriMet’s A Better Red extension opened in August 2024, Red Line trains run from Hillsboro Airport/Fairgrounds through Beaverton and downtown Portland to the airport, doubling service west of Beaverton Transit Center (TriMet).
Tigard’s link is the WES commuter rail, which has connected Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville since 2009, plus Highway 99W — the old West Side Pacific Highway, part of Oregon’s first highway system in 1917 (Oregon Encyclopedia). Drivers use US 26 over the Sunset corridor and Highway 217 between the three cities.
A wildlife refuge, a mountain prairie and a market
The Tualatin Valley keeps its farm-and-wetland character within minutes of the tech campuses. The valley floor floods, the oak prairies bloom, and Saturday mornings smell like berries and bread.
Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge
One of only a handful of flagship urban national wildlife refuges in the country, established in 1992 on the Tualatin River floodplain minutes from Tigard, with over 900 acres of protected land and water (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
Cooper Mountain Nature Park
Just south of Beaverton, more than three miles of trails pass through forests, prairies and oak woodlands, with views over the Tualatin Valley to the Chehalem Mountains and a wheelchair-accessible three-quarter-mile loop (Metro).
Beaverton Farmers Market
Across from the Beaverton City Library in downtown Beaverton, the market averages 15,000 to 20,000 visitors on a summer Saturday, with nursery growers, farmers, ranchers and artisan food producers (Beaverton Farmers Market).

Buying in Beaverton, Hillsboro or Tigard: taxes and boundaries
Oregon doesn’t have a general sales or use tax (Oregon Department of Revenue) — one reason Washington plates fill the parking lots on this side of the Columbia. Oregon does tax income, so weigh both sides of the ledger if you are comparing a move across state lines.
Boundaries deserve a close look here. City limits, school district lines and unincorporated Washington County pockets interleave — Nike’s entire world headquarters famously sits on an unincorporated island surrounded by Beaverton (Oregon Encyclopedia) — so an address’s city name, taxing districts and school assignment can each tell a different story. In newer master-planned areas like Tigard’s River Terrace, ask early for the homeowners association’s documents: what they cover, what they charge and what is planned.

A licensed buyer's agent for a flat fee from the same schedule, based on the price of the home you buy. The fee is usually covered by the seller's contribution. Oregon does not allow cash-back rebates to buyers, so when the seller contributes more than the fee, your agent requests a seller credit toward your closing costs instead.¹

It is shown before you meet your agent, written into your agreement, and paid from your proceeds at closing. Nothing upfront.

Which school districts serve Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard?
The Beaverton School District, with nearly 37,500 students, the Hillsboro School District and the Tigard-Tualatin School District. District lines don’t follow city limits everywhere, so check a specific address with each district’s own lookup before you commit.
Was the View-Master really made in Beaverton?
Yes. In 1950, Sawyer’s opened its View-Master plant in the Progress area, and electronics companies like Tektronix followed, putting Beaverton on the map as a high-tech center. The View-Master site is now a Beaverton mall (Oregon Encyclopedia).
How did Tigard become a city?
Slowly, then by a whisker. After years as the oldest unincorporated community in Oregon and a long fight over a sewage crisis, voters approved incorporation in September 1961 by nineteen votes, and the new City of Tigard started with 1,749 residents (Oregon Encyclopedia).
How do home prices here compare with Portland?
