Apartments for Rent in Metzger - Tigard

Starting around 1849, an influx of settlers populated the area that is now Tigard. Around 1900, the Oregon Electric Railway arrived, and a stop was added in what is now the neighborhood of Metzger. Herman Metzger platted the town around 1908, building a school, a store, and a church. While it was called the Town of Metzger, the community never officially became a township. Today, this large neighborhood provides a family-friendly environment with community events and festivals, many held at Metzger Park.

Located in the heart of the neighborhood, Metzger Park is a small, seven-acre, heavily wooded park. It includes a playground, tennis courts, hiking trails, picnic areas, and horseshoe pits. While it is the neighborhood's gathering place, several other nearby parks are also popular, such as nearby Greenway Park, Dirksen Nature Park, and Englewood Park.

Metzger begins directly east of the popular Washington Square mall and extends westward toward 77th Avenue. Commuters will appreciate the nearby highways, all directly south of the neighborhood. These include Beaverton Tigard Highway, Pacific Highway, and I-5. Metzger is roughly eight miles southwest of Downtown Portland and three miles southeast of Beaverton.
