Community Overview

About Tigard

Tigard is a suburban city in Washington County, situated between Beaverton to the north and Tualatin to the south as part of the Portland Metro area. The city has a suburban residential character shaped by its central location along several major transportation corridors.

Interstate 5 runs along Tigard's eastern edge, and Oregon Route 217 terminates at I-5 within the city, alongside Oregon Route 99W and Route 210. This makes Tigard a convenient base for commuting to Portland, Beaverton, or other parts of the metro area. TriMet serves the city with bus lines and the WES Commuter Rail, which stops at the Tigard Transit Center.

Downtown Tigard is centered on Main Street, and the city is also home to Washington Square, one of the larger shopping centers in Oregon, along with the northern portion of Bridgeport Village. Cook Park, along the Tualatin River, is a well-known gathering spot and hosts the annual Tigard Festival of Balloons.

Housing

Real Estate in Tigard

Tigard's housing stock includes single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums spread across a mix of established residential streets and newer development. Because the city sits at the intersection of several major roads, some neighborhoods are closer to commercial corridors while others are quieter residential pockets set back from the busier routes.

As with any city, conditions and available inventory vary from one neighborhood to the next, so it's worth looking closely at a specific area rather than treating Tigard as a single, uniform market.
