Neighborhood Guide FAQ

How many neighborhoods does the guide cover?

2,496 neighborhoods across 30 areas in the Portland metro and SW Washington, from Portland, Beaverton and Hillsboro to Lake Oswego, Happy Valley, Vancouver and Camas. Each one has its own page with homes for sale, schools and walkability.

How were the top-rated neighborhoods chosen?

For Portland, Beaverton and Vancouver we use Niche's 2026 neighborhood grades and rankings. For the other cities, where no public neighborhood ranking exists, we show the neighborhoods buyers ask about most.

What do the drive times mean?

They are typical drive times without traffic from each city center to downtown Portland, Intel in Hillsboro, Nike World Headquarters, PDX and the Portland VA Medical Center. Rush hour can add a lot of time, so ask Troy about your exact commute.

Can I use a VA loan in any of these neighborhoods?

Yes. Eligible veterans can use a VA loan for a primary home anywhere in Oregon or Washington, as long as the home meets VA requirements. Condos need to be VA approved.
