Situated just seven miles west of Downtown Portland, Beaverton is a beautiful, wooded community nicknamed the “Best in Oregon.” Beaverton is definitely the best for outdoor lovers – the city features more than 100 parks covering more than 1,000 acres. Another best? Beaverton’s school system, which is consistently recognized for high SAT scores. And with ski slopes on the east side and beaches on the west, some might argue that Beaverton’s location is best, as well.
While you can quickly reach Portland in less than 15 minutes, Beaverton is much more than a suburb. Nike headquarters is located here, along with Tektronix and Reser’s Fine Foods. Retail is big in Beaverton, home to the Washington Square Mall, Beaverton Town Square, Cedar Hills Crossing, and a variety of locally-owned boutiques scattered throughout the city, but especially in Downtown Beaverton.
