Its business core is growing and its urban population is increasingly diverse. Residents enjoy a wide variety of cultural and recreational opportunities, an award-winning parks district, high-achieving schools and a community-oriented government. Headquarters of global companies like Nike and Tektronix support the local economy along with many small and medium sized businesses.

Beaverton is known as a family friendly city and for its many attractive and well-planned neighborhoods.  Residents enjoy easy access to a complete range of community services, including the Portland metropolitan west-side's largest shopping district and dozens of churches serving all denominations. The City has a vast amount of "Green Space" with over 100 parks encompassing 1,000 acres. A park is located within a half mile of every home and the City features 30 miles of hiking trails and a 25-mile network of bike paths.  Beaverton residents are able to enjoy many outdoor activities with ski slopes and ocean beaches a little more than an hour away...
