Beaverton sits in Washington County, roughly 7 miles west of downtown Portland, and has grown into one of the most economically significant cities in Oregon. With a population approaching 100,000, it is one of the state’s largest cities, but it doesn’t feel like one. Most of Beaverton’s residential areas are neighborhood-scale: quiet streets, tree-lined subdivisions, and established commercial corridors that serve daily life without requiring a trip into the city.
The city’s identity is closely tied to Nike, whose global headquarters sits on Beaverton’s southwest side. Intel operates its largest US campuses just west in Hillsboro. Together, these employers anchor a Washington County workforce that drives sustained housing demand across economic cycles.
Beaverton’s dining and retail scene has evolved past the strip-mall reputation the suburbs are usually saddled with. Cedar Hills Crossing has become a real destination, and Progress Ridge Townsquare on the south end anchors another mixed-use hub. Between those two centers, the Beaverton Farmers Market, and a growing set of independents scattered along Canyon Road, you can eat well without driving to Portland proper.
The Market in Beaverton
About this data. Market statistics on this page are compiled from sold and active residential listings reported to Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS) over the trailing 12 months.

Beaverton’s market has stayed steady while much of the broader metro cooled. The typical single-family home moves in about two weeks at close to list, with prices modestly up year over year and $/sqft holding. The condo segment has softened slightly on days-on-market as inventory has built, but pricing hasn’t followed. If you’re a buyer targeting the Beaverton School District, expect competition on desirable inventory. If you’re selling, current absorption is running around six weeks of supply, close to a balanced market with a slight seller edge.

Neighborhoods within Beaverton
Beaverton’s housing market spans a wide range depending on where you look. Older ranch-style homes in established neighborhoods like Vose, Highland, and West Slope typically sit in the mid-$500,000s. Newer construction in planned developments like Murrayhill and along the Progress Ridge corridor runs higher, often $700,000-plus. Townhomes and attached housing near the MAX line offer accessible entry points in the mid-$300,000s to $450,000s.
The Beaverton School District’s reputation is a consistent driver of buyer demand. Buyers relocating for the schools target this district specifically, which keeps inventory tighter than the broader metro average.
Shops, Restaurants & Local Highlights
Cedar Hills Crossing has grown into one of the metro’s better outdoor lifestyle centers. Anchor tenants include New Seasons Market and REI, and the dining lineup brings names Portlanders already know to a Beaverton address: Bamboo Sushi, Salt & Straw, Oswego Grill, and La Provence. Works as easily for a weeknight dinner as a Saturday errand-and-eat afternoon.
The Beaverton Farmers Market runs May through October at The Round and is one of the most-attended farmers markets in the Portland metro. Downtown Beaverton continues to build out its own commercial identity around the market, City Park, and the MAX station.
Progress Ridge Townsquare on the south end offers another mixed-use retail-and-dining center, arranged around a pond and central plaza with adjacent surface and structured parking. A popular alternative for buyers on the south side of the city.
Parks & Recreation
Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) is one of the best-resourced park districts in the state, maintaining over 60 parks, trails, aquatic centers, and recreation facilities across Beaverton and western Washington County. THPRD is a genuine quality-of-life differentiator that shows up in property values across the district’s coverage area.
Jenkins Estate offers 68 acres of historic gardens and trails. The Fanno Creek Trail runs through Beaverton and connects to the regional trail network extending to Lake Oswego and Tigard.
Schools & Education
Beaverton is served by Beaverton School District, one of the largest and most respected districts in Oregon. Comprehensive high schools include Westview, Sunset, Southridge, Mountainside, and Beaverton itself, with academic programs, athletics, and CTE tracks that consistently place the district among Oregon’s top performers. The district also runs an International Baccalaureate program and multiple dual-language immersion tracks, giving buyers a broad set of academic options within a single district.
