Our Take
Beaverton offers solid schools and a short commute to Portland, but it’s a car‑dependent, pricey suburb with a walkscore that reflects limited walkability. If you need a good school district and aren’t averse to driving, it’s workable, but if you value a bike‑friendly, low‑cost lifestyle you’ll need to weigh the trade‑offs.
