Living in Cornelius
Cornelius sits on the Tualatin Valley Highway between Hillsboro and Forest Grove, about 25 miles west of downtown Portland. Known as Oregon's Family Town, it has a small town feel with farmland all around.
Homes include established ranch houses, newer subdivisions and townhomes, with prices that often run below Hillsboro and Beaverton. That makes it a good place to stretch a VA budget on the westside.
