Fanno and Derry Dell creek trails weave through suburbs

Roughly 2 miles from downtown Tigard, the Derry Dell neighborhood is conveniently connected to highways and shopping centers. Large lots and an extensive trail system create lend to time spent outdoors. “You can walk to downtown Tigard,” says Helen Hoyt, principal broker with Portland Creative Realtors and a resident of the neighborhood. “I wanted to be able to walk places and I wanted to be able to ride on the Fanno Creek Trail. It’s only two blocks from my house and it goes for miles.”

Shopping & dining in Downtown Tigard is hop, skip and a jump down Hwy. 99 from Derry Dell.

Midcentury Derry Dell homes on a third-acre

Generous, green lots—some around a third of an acre in size—allow for sheltered outdoor spaces, recreational vehicle parking and room for those with a green thumb to grow a garden. Though ranch-style homes, mostly built throughout the 1950s and 1960s, dominate the architectural style of the neighborhood, Derry Dell also has pockets of two-level new traditional homes constructed in the 1990s. These homes fetch between $600,000 and $700,000, while larger, new traditional estates with two or more levels can cost between $750,000 and $850,000. Driveways and garages flanked by mature trees facilitate getting around a neighborhood with limited sidewalks.

Neighborhood trails connect Derry Dell to Fanno Creek

Hidden among the verdant woods between Derry Dell’s subdivisions, the Pathfinder-Genesis Trail leads hikers from the Saint Anthony Parish Cemetery in the south of the neighborhood to Woodard Park. After crossing the wooden bridge over Derry Dell Creek, hikers reach Woodard Park’s picnic table—shaded by a wooden gazebo—and a playground. In 2014, the city of Tigard partnered with multiple environmental organizations to restore 1,000 feet of Derry Dell Creek's stream channel and 3.5 acres of surrounding floodplain wetlands. “There are ducks and beavers, herons and egrets. It’s along a river, so they’ve got wetlands,” Hoyt says. “Beavers have built a dam [at Derry Dell Creek], and the trail is really nice right there.” Traversing the entire neighborhood, the Pathfinder-Genesis Trail is part of a larger system of paths that surround Fanno Creek, northeast of the neighborhood. A smaller neighborhood green space rests at the corner of Quail Creek Lane and 122nd Avenue with another play set and a picnic bench for watchful parents.

Pacific Highway and Interstate 5 connect to downtown Portland

Pacific Highway borders Derry Dell on its east side, lined with restaurants and grocery stores. It also connects to Interstate 5, which continues northeast toward downtown Portland, a roughly 12-mile or 25-minute—depending on traffic—drive away. Residents can also take the TriMet Westside Express Service (WES) Commuter Rail downtown from the Tigard Transit Center, just north of the neighborhood on Pacific Highway West. Several TriMet buses also stop along Southwest Walnut Street, the neighborhood’s northern boundary.

Progress Ridge Town Square and Pacific Highway grocers

The neighborhood’s restaurants are mostly scattered along Pacific Highway West. Elmer’s, a Pacific Northwest chain that started in Portland, serves hand-rolled omelets, German pancakes and eggs Benedict, among other breakfast classics, all day. Farther north on the highway, Taco del Sol also has an extensive breakfast menu, though it's known for Mexican dishes like enchiladas, tacos and carne asada. Around 3 miles from the neighborhood, Progress Ridge Town Square consists of a dine-in AMC movie theater, Big Al’s bowling alley and sports bar, La Provence bakery as well as a New Seasons Market. For closer grocery shopping, residents can head to Natural Grocers or H Mart, an Asian grocery store, on Pacific Highway West.

You can shop for Asian groceries at H-Mart in the Derry Dell community.
