What makes Hillsboro different.
Hillsboro is Oregon's fastest-growing big city and the anchor of the Silicon Forest. Between the Intel campuses, the new-construction wave in South Hillsboro, and walkable corners like Orenco Station, it offers the region's most complete suburban package for tech workers and families.
Homes change hands at different speeds depending on price, condition, and location within the city. The snapshot on this page is based on recent published market data, and Paul is happy to pull the current numbers for the specific street you are watching.
Typical commute: The MAX Blue Line reaches downtown Portland in about 35 to 45 minutes, and the Sunset Highway is often quicker outside peak hours. Most tech jobs are minutes away.
