Sandwiched between two of the nicest parks in the West Portland suburbs, and bordered to the north by Hillsboro’s retail corridor, the neighborhood of South Hillsboro offers easy access to both nature and modern conveniences. Developed in spurts over the last century, the neighborhood features historic farmhouses, compact fifties-era bungalows, along with contemporary saltbox houses and craftsmans. In the eastern part of the neighborhood, streets curve gently and houses back up against the thickly wooded parks; gridlike streets in the northeast are home to identical houses and heavily shaded sidewalks.

On the neighborhood’s east side, the 635 acre Jackson Bottom Wetlands has 4.5 miles of well-maintained trails, and is visited by over 200 species of birds each year. To the west, Rood Bridge Park offers a combination of manicured greens and meandering forest trails alongside the placid Tualatin River, a perfect spot for beginner paddlers. If you prefer a more curated outdoor experience, the 27-hole Meriwether National Golf Club has some of the most popular public links in the area. Swimmers will appreciate Shute Park Aquatic center, while just around the corner Hillsboro Shute Park Library hosts regular storytimes and children's events.

Running along the neighborhood’s north side, the Tualatin Valley Highway offers 20 miles of shopping centers, including South Hillsboro’s own Sunset Esplanade, where residents can pick up groceries, hardware, or everyday amenities. The highway is also home to most of the neighborhood’s restaurants, including highly rated taco truck Tacontento, and unpretentious chophouse Hale’s Restaurant and Lounge, whose popular Eggs Spartan is named for Hillsboro High’s mascot. Locals looking for a quiet drink can stop by one of the many wineries located south of the neighborhood, and sip on some pinot while taking in breathtaking views.

Tualatin Valley Highway also provides residents with a simple and direct route to downtown Hillsboro, where much of the city’s nightlife and entertainment can be found. Head the other direction, and central Beaverton is just twenty minutes away, offering a wide variety of top-tier shopping and dining. Downtown Portland is a 30 minute drive, or about an hour by public transit, while Portland International Airport is about 45 minutes from South Hillsboro (Hillsboro Airport has a few popular air shows each year, but doesn’t handle commercial flights).

Local Hillsboro High School, known around town as “Hilhi,” has a number of STEM-focused clubs and extracurriculars, including a popular robotics team. It also offers students the chance to enroll in an International Baccalaureate (IB) program if they’re interested in studying abroad, or just learning about other countries.

South Hillsboro has everything you might want in a Portland suburb: nature, shopping, and a strong sense of community.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
