Today I wanted to shine a light on the Platform District and Orenco Station in Hillsborough.Both have become wildly popular destinations for home buyers looking to find a connection point where high-tech meets rapid transit, home-grown shops, restaurants, and neighborhood pubs. It’s a truly walkable village with tons of retail gems, including markets, wine, restaurants, bars, and a bakery, just to name a few. The Urban Plaza is a half-acre area modeled off of traditional town squares, and they host outdoor movie nights in the summer and a skating rink in the winter. The Platform District and Orenco Station were designed to bring a Central Park-like quality to the city, and there are multiple parks with areas for outdoor ping pong tables, bocce ball courts, and pet parks.“It’s a truly a walkable village with shops, restaurants, markets, and pubs. ”Real estate appreciation has seen a rise of 15% to 20% over the last couple of years; condos and townhouses start just below $200,000 and can get up above $500,000 for some of the brownstones. Single-family homes are relatively new at about 10 to 12 years old, and start in the mid $300,000 range and can get up to about the $500,000 mark.With lots of sustainable job growth anchored by great companies, the neighborhood looks to be a hot location for years to come in Portland.
