Tigard, Oregon is ideally located between Portland and the state capital, Salem. Tigard is situated 70 miles west of spectacular Mt. Hood and 80 miles east of the scenic and spectacular Pacific coast. This accessible location was originally settled in 1852 by a group of families who apparently knew a good location when they saw it. Tigard's motto is "A place to call home" and generations of residents have done just that. Tigard real estate agents will be happy to help you and your family can find your own place to call home in Tigard.

Tigard is proud of its designation as a "Tree City USA" and that pride is evident in the effort taken by the city of Tigard to make certain that Tigard remains an environmentally friendly and truly green community. Tigard, Oregon offers the great outdoors without having to be far from the comforts of home. From fishing on the Tualatin River to the serenity and tranquility of open green fields, Tigard offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation. The city maintains more than 300 acres of parks and green space, including three dog-friendly parks with off-leash areas and shade structures, a brand new skate park and a pedestrian and bike bridge over the Tualatin River. More traditional parks are also present in Tigard, but all combine to help make Tigard a community whose residents love to be outdoors.

Homes for sale in Tigard, Oregon include luxury lakefront homes and estates with guest quarters located on large lots, mountain view homes nestled among the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley, and traditional single family homes in truly comfortable and serene neighborhoods. A small number of townhouses and condominiums are also for ale in Tigard, Oregon and these offer the same sense of community and serenity without the upkeep and maintenance duties associated with traditional homeownership.

The highlight of Tigard's social calendar has to be the annual Festival of Balloons held during Portland's Rose Festival. Besides the grandeur and beauty of a sky filled with hot air balloons, the festival includes live music, an auto cruise, a 5k walk/run and a soccer tournament. The festival also provides Tigard residents the opportunity to do something not so prevalent in today's society- work with their neighbors for the good of the community. If you become a resident of Tigard, you'll probably end up working as a volunteer during the festival, and you'll probably work alongside Tigard real estate agents. What else could you expect from "A place to call home"?
