HILLSBORO, OREGON
Hillsboro is Oregon's fifth largest city and one of its best kept secrets. Anchored by one of the most significant technology corridors in the entire United States and surrounded by some of the most fertile farmland in the Pacific Northwest, Hillsboro has quietly built a city that offers exceptional livability, remarkable cultural diversity, and a housing market that delivers genuine value without asking you to compromise on quality of life.
Hillsboro sits at the western edge of the Portland metro in the heart of the Tualatin Valley, where the Silicon Forest meets some of Oregon's most productive agricultural land. Intel's largest campus complex in the world is located here, making Hillsboro one of the most economically significant technology cities in the entire country — not just in Oregon. The city's economy extends well beyond Intel, with a growing cluster of semiconductor, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing employers that have made the Highway 26 corridor one of the most robust job markets in the Pacific Northwest. Hillsboro is served by the Hillsboro School District, a large and improving district with a growing range of programs reflecting the community's extraordinary cultural diversity. MAX light rail runs the full length of the city, connecting residents to Beaverton, Portland, and the broader metro with genuine ease.
