Beaverton combines the best of big city and small town living.

Located in the heart of the Tualatin Valley, midway between Mount Hood and the Oregon coast, the city of Beaverton combines the best of a big city and the peaceful surroundings of a small town. Just seven miles west of downtown Portland, Beaverton is Oregon's sixth largest city and the second largest incorporated city in Washington County. 

Beaverton is home to nearly 100,000 people of all ages and backgrounds. One in three residents identify as a person of color and roughly 20% were born outside of the U.S. This richness of cultural diversity is what makes Beaverton such a vibrant city. Nearby you'll find the international headquarters of companies like Nike and Columbia Sportswear.

Filled with eclectic charm, downtown Beaverton is a collection of mid-century storefronts, turn-of-the-century landmarks and the latest in mixed-use development. The city has a popular food scene, including a collection of food trucks that draw hunger diners year round. Beyond the city core are opportunities for shopping, entertainment and exploration. With over 100 parks encompassing 1,000 acres, there's a park within a half mile of every home plus 30 miles of hiking trails and a 25-mile network of bike paths. Ski slopes to the east and ocean beaches to the west, as well as forests all around, provide ample opportunities for recreation.

Home to 11 distinct neighborhoods, Beaverton offers more opportunities for neighbors to have fun and make a greater impact on the community. Along the treelined streets, neighbors are often out jogging, biking, dog-walking and enjoying everything the city has to offer. From outdoor plays and concerts to art, multicultural festivals and celebrations, Beaverton's annual events bring the community together.
