Wonderful Place to Live
I moved to Beaverton about three years ago. It's a wonderful place to live. It's a very peaceful, quiet location that has all the benefits of Portland without the hipsters or weirdness. The schools are top notch, there is a good selection of restaurants, lots of shopping with Washington Square Mall, Murray Hill, Progress Ridge and Cedar Hills, good access to the outdoors with biking and walking paths, and a nice variety of neighborhoods. There are some less than desirable areas in Beaverton, but mostly it's along Allen Street and parts of Walker Street. The rest is nice and lovely. Corporate HQ for Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Textronix, TransCore, Reser Foods and others. Downtown Portland is 15-20 minutes away for culture and nightlife and less than 2 hours to mountains, beaches, wineries and the Gorge for endless outdoor adventure. The weather is pretty wet, but temperatures remain mild year round, with snow and severe thunderstorms very rare. The scenery is gorgeous and trees are everywhere.
