Orenco Station
Suburban Neighborhood in Hillsboro, Oregon
Washington County 97124
Modern downtown with growing surroundings
Many hallmarks of a main street USA town are present here – bustling commerce in a manicured downtown filled with the activities of town residents. But unlike most others, Orenco Station features a lot more modernity with its postindustrial 5-over-1 buildings along tree-shaded sidewalks and pedestrian-first crossings. The town then fans out to pockets of subdivisions and condo communities adjacent to downtown. Most of these follow a similar, if not slightly more traditional architectural style, often implementing elements common to Craftsman designs. "There's a lot of new construction going on in that area," says Realtor Cassandra Marks of Real Broker, who sells homes all across the greater Portland area. "It kind of came up out of nowhere, everybody suddenly wanted to be in that area because of all the building and retail going on." Prices tend to be fairly consistent with the greater area, with a median single-family price of $577,450 and a median townhouse price of $362,000.

Bike rides to visit friendly giants
When looking for a scenic route, locals have a huge supply of parks to pass through. Smaller spaces like Cornell Park offer cut-throughs on the way to several nearby community gardens, plus sights of outdoor ping pong matches and dogs playing fetch at the off-leash area. Further south, the 42 acre Orenco Woods Nature Park offers a secluded location for picnics, hikes and playground visits. But the crown jewel of Orenco Station is at Hidden Creek, where local children climb the famous "Oro the Friendly Giant" -- a massive sculpture of a monkey that functions as a jungle gym. Their parents meanwhile head there to play pickleball on dedicated courts. And when it's raining, the Hidden Creek Community Center's indoor basketball courts are open for free throws and pickup games.Green-thumb students attend standout schools
Parents are drawn to Orenco Station for its schools. Belonging to the Hillsboro School District's Liberty Feeder Group, students attend one of six elementary schools. But most attend those in town, including Orenco and Quatama Elementary's, the latter of which has a vegetable garden for students. Both schools have B Niche scores. Poynter Middle comes next, which is Niche's 8th most standout public middle school in Oregon. The last step, Liberty High, also has a community garden. Both Poynter and Liberty receive Niche scores of B.Oktober in Orenco
Orenco Station is home to events all throughout the year. Locals enjoy a sea of German beer, foods and activities like a beer stein holding contest every September at OrenKoFest. Throughout the week, the Hillsboro Brookwood Library hosts local artist exhibitions, Spanish proficiency workshops and group reading, sometimes with therapy dogs.Transit options to Intel campuses
Employees of Intel are drawn to Orenco Station for its immediate proximity to the company's campus. For them and everyone else, the town offers many ways of getting around. "It's very walkable and has most of what you need at your fingertips," says Marks. A car is not necessarily needed for commuting, as most streets contain separated bike lanes and bus stops. Of course, driving Highway 26 is still an option if commuting into downtown Portland. But the local MAX light rail stop offers an alternative.

Lamb shank and passport stamps
Between the MAX station and Cornell Road sits a downtown area filled with restaurants and boutiques. The lamb shank from Salam is popular when seeking Lebanese and Persian cuisine. Others head next door to peruse hardcopies at the Orenco Learning Club Bookstore. Home cooked meals can be taken care of at one of several grocery stores in town, including Costco Wholesale. Further north, the beloved local chain McMenamins offers yet another uniquely themed location for beer, cider tastings and events.
