Beaverton is one of the Portland metro area’s most established and well-connected westside communities, offering a mix of quiet residential neighborhoods, newer developments, parks, trails, and an increasingly vibrant downtown. Buyers will find everything from tree-lined streets and traditional suburban neighborhoods to newer communities with shops, restaurants, and recreation built close to home. The area is served by the Beaverton School District, with numerous elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the community, along with several private and alternative education options.
Location is one of Beaverton’s biggest advantages. Nike’s World Headquarters is nearby, while Intel’s Hillsboro campuses and other major westside employers are easily accessible. Highway 26, Highway 217, and several major arterial roads provide convenient connections throughout the metro area, and MAX light rail service makes it possible to travel between Beaverton, downtown Portland, Hillsboro, and Portland International Airport without relying entirely on a car. Beaverton Transit Center also serves as an important hub for MAX and TriMet bus service.
Beaverton has also become a destination in its own right for dining, shopping, and recreation. Downtown Beaverton is home to a growing collection of restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, food carts, and local businesses, while destinations such as Cedar Hills Crossing provide additional shopping and entertainment. Residents are close to neighborhood parks, the Tualatin Hills Nature Park, recreation centers, golf, and miles of walking and biking trails. With its combination of employment access, transportation, schools, dining, and outdoor amenities, Beaverton offers a highly convenient westside lifestyle with plenty of variety for buyers at every stage of life.
