About Hillsboro

Tucked away in the Tualatin Valley, the city of Hillsboro is home to a number of technology companies such as microprocessor chip manufacturers and related suppliers, lending to the area’s nickname, “Silicon Forest.” Found only 21 miles west of Portland, Hillsboro serves as an extensive suburban neighborhood and home of multiple industrial parks. In fact, the majority of the 88,000-resident city work locally rather than commuting into Portland for work. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Hillsboro can find a number of job openings at Sun Microsystems High-End Operations, headquartered in the city, as well as Yahoo!, FEI Company, Credence Systems, Synopsys, Epson, and TriQuint Semiconductor.

The city is also a landing point on three fiber optic cable systems linking the United States across the Pacific Ocean: C2C, Southern Cross Cable, and VSNL Transpacific. The Portland-Hillsboro Airport serves general aviation and business jets. Residents of a Hillsboro house or apartment for rent can find a tee time on any day thanks to the wonderful selection of courses including Killarney West Golf Course, McKay Creek Golf Course, The Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club, Meriwether National Golf Course, and Forest Hills Country Club. The Water Park, Dairy Creek Park, Shute Park, Benal Park, Walnut Street Park, Bicentennial Park, Shadywood Park, Turner Creek Park, Jones Farm Park, and Griffin Oaks Park provide additional room for recreation. Hillsboro's annual 4th of July Parade is the second-largest Independence Day parade in Oregon. Hillsboro also hosts the Oregon International Airshow.
