Experience classic Pacific Northwest style in Northwest Hillsboro, a mostly residential neighborhood known for its top-rated schools and large Intel facility. A varied blend of detached homes and modern apartment buildings line well-planned streets, and cool Oregon evenings see crowds of locals out for walks and bike rides under soaring pine trees. Northwest Hillsboro sits at the edge of Hillsboro, just two miles from downtown. For the best views of rolling farmland and wooded acreage, look for apartments along NW Evergreen Road. The intersection of NE Cornell Road and NE 25th Avenue serves as the social center of Northwest Hillsboro.
