Washington County
Hillsboro, OR Real Estate Agent
The county seat and largest city in Washington County — Orenco Station, the western end of the MAX Blue Line, Hillsboro Airport, and major tech employers.
The County Seat
Hillsboro anchors Washington County
Hillsboro is the county seat and the largest city in Washington County, and it blends two personalities well. A historic downtown gives the city its older character, while newer neighborhoods and the Orenco Station area show its more recent growth. The MAX Blue Line ends here, connecting Hillsboro straight through Beaverton to downtown Portland, and Hillsboro Airport serves the area's general aviation needs. Major tech employers are concentrated in and around the city, which makes buying near work a real possibility.
For buyers, that mix is the draw. You can live in a walkable, Orenco-style neighborhood near a MAX station and a short commute from a tech campus, or in an established pocket closer to the historic downtown. The Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve adds green space along the city's edge. The right fit depends on how you want to live day to day, and Jill helps you sort through the options.
Buying Near Work
A short commute, by design
Hillsboro's concentration of major tech employers is a big reason buyers look here. Buying near work — or near a MAX station that gets you there — can turn a long drive into a short one, and that shapes which part of the city makes sense. The Orenco Station area puts housing, shops, and parks within walking distance of a station, so daily errands can happen on foot.
Jill helps you map a home against where you actually work. A house near a tech campus or a MAX stop trades differently than one that needs a car for every trip, and she brings that perspective to every showing.

What Clients Say
A Hillsboro buyer, in their own words
“It has been 6 months of living in our home that Jill helped us buy and looking back on the process we are beyond grateful for her efforts and knowledge as a realtor.
