Just 10 miles southwest of Portland, Tigard lives up to its motto "A Place to Call Home" with its tree-lined streets, vibrant downtown district, and proximity to one of Oregon's largest shopping destinations, Washington Square Mall, featuring over 170 stores including Nordstrom, Apple, and Macy's. This Washington County community of over 54,000 residents combines suburban charm with easy access to metropolitan amenities.

Tigard's 13 distinct neighborhoods each have their own character. The historic downtown district along Main Street features locally-owned businesses housed in restored buildings, including antique shops and the Broadway Rose Theatre Company. The Summerlake area offers trails connecting to the Fanno Creek Greenway, while the 79-acre Cook Park provides river access, sports fields, and picnic areas along the scenic Tualatin River. The Tigard Triangle area offers convenient access to major retail centers and employment hubs.

Transportation options make commuting efficient for Tigard residents. The city sits at the junction of Interstate 5 and Highway 217, providing direct routes to Portland, Beaverton, and the entire metro area. The Westside Express Service (WES) commuter rail and multiple TriMet bus lines connect residents to downtown Portland and surrounding communities.
