Hillsboro is a rare gem -- and not just because of its emerald green landscape. With the snow-capped peak of Mount Hood in the background, dazzling parks and public gardens, and sparkling lakes, Hillsboro's multi-faceted charm just gets better when you factor in the frontier-style, historic downtown and its proximity to Portland, just 19 miles east. And as part of the Silicon Forest, Hillsboro also provides a strong economy with companies like Intel headquartered here.

With more than 20 city parks, Hillsboro takes full advantage of its natural beauty. When you rent in Hillsboro, you'll be able to go hiking in Noble Woods Park, walking and biking on Rock Creek Trail, picnicking in Magnolia Park, and bird-watching in Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve. Historic Downtown Hillsboro is filled with popular shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars, and numerous shopping plazas such as Tanasbourne Town Center and the Streets of Tanasbourne make living in Hillsboro as convenient as it is exciting.
