Fanno Creek Greenway is a natural divide of homes and businesses

Inside the city of Beaverton, Vose is a largely residential neighborhood that separates its homes from its retail section with the Fanno Creek Greenway. Vose is about 9 miles from Portland, although Valerie Dawn, owner of Encore Performing Arts Center, who has worked in the area for 13 years, emphasizes that “we’re definitely not Portland.” The area has solidified its own identity with its local businesses, events that celebrate the rich culture in Beaverton and the highly rated Beaverton School District, which earns an A from Niche.

Fanno Creek Greenway and neighborhood parks

Part of the Fanno Creek Greenway runs through Vose, acting as a natural divide between the neighborhood's residential and retail areas. “It’s a little bit of surrealness among the businesses,” Dawn says. The trail is about 4 and a half miles long, and features offshoots into several neighborhoods. Several types of wildlife call the Greenway home, including Pacific tree frogs and beavers. At Ridgecrest Park, residents can practice basketball or go swinging. Sky Zone Trampoline Park is at the top of the Greenway and offers group and individual fun for all ages.
