Your Guide to Living in the

Portland Metro
SUBURBS

Discover the Charm of Portland Metro’s Diverse Suburbs

The Portland metro area is a tapestry of unique communities, each offering its own flavor of Pacific Northwest living. From the scenic riverfront neighborhoods of Lake Oswego and West Linn to the tech-driven hubs of Hillsboro and Beaverton, there’s a suburb to fit every lifestyle. The Willamette and Columbia Rivers carve natural boundaries throughout the region, shaping distinct areas like the lush, tree-lined communities of Happy Valley and Damascus to the east and the rolling vineyard-adjacent towns of Sherwood and Tualatin to the west. Whether you’re looking for a historic downtown, a quiet rural retreat, or a bustling urban center just outside the city, Portland’s suburbs provide a wealth of options.

The metro area includes both incorporated cities and unincorporated communities, each with its own character and amenities. Some areas, like Gresham and Vancouver, function as major cities in their own right, with thriving downtowns and extensive public transit options, while others, like Bethany and Raleigh Hills, offer more of a suburban feel with winding residential streets and easy access to parks and trails. Outdoor enthusiasts love proximity to places like Forest Park, the Columbia River Gorge, and the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, while commuters appreciate the MAX light rail system and major highways that make getting around a breeze. No matter where you land, the Portland metro suburbs balance nature, convenience, and community—giving you the best of both worlds.
