Portland's diversity rivaled by farmland
Known locally as "Silicon Forest," the verdant town of Hillsboro is Oregon's 5th most populous city, and its western end contains some of its most sought-after details. Rich with colorful parks, diverse eateries and shops, and a community that centers upon these things, West Hillsboro is one of the most culturally vibrant areas one can find jammed between acres of farmland. And with access to major employers, highways and public transportation, homebound residents and commuters alike are seldom deprived of color and convenience.
Something old, but mostly new
The southern section of West Hillsboro is mostly commercial properties and government buildings. North of that, West Hillsboro is growing – it has been since the 1950s. "Hillsboro is popular with folks who want to get out of the city and go out west to build a home," says Realtor Cassandra Marks of Real Broker, who sells properties all across the greater Portland area. This means the haphazard grid is a mostly established neighborhood with newly built homes filling empty spaces. Its oldest homes are mainly concentrated at the center of West Hillsboro, which has many single-story ranchers, bungalows and Cape Cods with narrow sidewalks and one-car garages. A denser collection of new builds is located north in a subdivision of two-story new traditional homes and townhouses. These usually implement Craftsman design elements. In general, homes in West Hillsboro are listed for slightly less than other parts of town, with most selling between $400,000 and $560,000.

McKinney Elementary features a community garden and basketball court for its Hillsboro students.
Diverse schools with international experiences
Local students begin at Free Orchards, W. Verne McKinney or Patterson Elementary Schools, which all earn Niche scores of C-plus or higher. Next comes Evergreen Junior High, which has a B-plus Niche score and is considered the 3rd most standout public middle school in the Portland area. Finally, Glencoe High School comes highly rated and highly diverse. The school earns a B-minus score from Niche and offers an International Baccalaureate Program. Others are attracted to Glencoe for its wealth of multicultural opportunities, including dual-language immersion and foreign exchange student programs.
Churros, clay pots and craft beer
Its gem flea market, M&M Marketplace, furthers the diversity of West Hillsboro. The multinational market houses more than 80 vendors serving up a rainbow of handmade items and flavorful dishes. Locals head there to scarf down tacos al pastor from El Mercadito before heading in to peruse clay pots and molcajete hand-crafted by artisans. Those in the neighborhood's north end are never too far from Italian and American options at Jersey Girl Pizza, which serves a rotating menu of craft beers to its cornhole-playing customers. For groceries, a WinCo Foods supermarket is in the neighborhood's south end.

Pop-ups and holiday golf tournaments
When looking to dive deep into the culture, residents have a wealth of events at M&M Marketplace to attend, such as an annual Father's Day Car Show. In the summertime, the El Sol Festival is where locals head for a wide array of international food vendors, artist pop-ups and music performances. Local golfers also hit the links every November for the Turkey Shoot Open Tournament at McKay Creek Golf Course & Driving Range.
Light rail rides to Intel, Nike
The fairly walkable neighborhood sits roughly 3 miles south of U.S. Highway 26, which goes straight into downtown Portland. Employees who commute to nearby campuses for Intel or Nike "can completely avoid driving into the city," says Marks. "But it's honestly not that far from Downtown Portland either; the map just makes it look that way." Both campuses are within proximity of a MAX light rail station, but accessing the stations from home will require a walk as there are few bus routes in West Hillsboro.
Frisbees and falcons for miles
Ripe with parks, West Hillsboro's greenery takes the form of small lots with amenities for play, and large nature preserves with acres to roam and explore. When the kids need to burn off some energy, many head down to McKinney Park's playground and basketball court. A similar option can be found less than a mile south at Dairy Creek Park, which also includes walking paths and a 9-hole disc golf course. Local birdwatchers migrate south to the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve – a 635 acre conservation area home to over 150 bird species, including bald eagles, herons and great horned owls.
