It's a nice area with a good balance of necessities and leisure. Neighborhoods are generally quiet and schools are excellent as well. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the traffic and overpopulation.

South Beaverton is a relatively new growing area where the road traffic is increasing greater because of the new growth and construction of new homes in the area.
