Scenic Portland suburb with a real Northwest feel
Located in the small city of Beaverton, a suburb about 10 miles west of downtown Portland, Highland is a scenic neighborhood sought by architecture and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Homes here enhance the area's natural beauty: they're primarily single-story and unassuming, incorporating elements of mid-century modern architecture like large windows and courtyards to create a sense of indoor-outdoor living. Tall firs surround the homes, giving a sense of seclusion while still existing within a community. "People love Highland because it has a real Northwest feel, with its tall, mature fir trees," says Brian Bellairs, one of the top Realtors in the Portland area for the past three decades. "Its large lots offer elbow room and privacy."
