One of the appealing offerings of real estate in Aloha area is lot size. Most will run 7000’ or larger, often times up to .25 acre. Some provide the largest in-town home sites available around all of our metro area. Cost of construction runs under the average for Portland due to location not being real close-in. Most Aloha real estate will not have views over the city as most lots are nearly flat and streets are grid-like for ease of orientation. Commute to the city is a drawback as there are countless stoplights involved. Employees of Hillsboro’s high-tech area find the drive tolerable at only about 15 – 20 minutes.

Aloha real estate consists mainly of detached single family houses built in the 1970’s, some 80’s and 90’s. Not overly large for the most part and under 2000’. Single level ranch is a common theme due to larger lots and the ability to spread the home footprint. Split and traditional styles make up a smaller section of homes. Townhouses and attached residences do exist but to a lesser degree than in other areas due primarily to availability of public transit. Exterior home finishes tend to emphasize t-111 and not overdone or high end, minimal trim. Remodelers can do well with updated surface and keeping it all on a low budget.
