Feel , Known For –

Portland’s Raleigh Hills neighborhood is a well-established location with good proximity to downtown as Beaverton areas.  Larger lots and mature landscape provide a not too subdivisionish look.  A gardener’s delight, reminiscent of the Hoyt Arboretum and it’s lush, green, mild-manicured look. Raleigh Hills shopping center is a continuation of the downtown Beaverton area, although this is technically Portland real estate.  Jesuit High School is a prominent private school very nearby. Family-like setting more than anything.  More on Portland real estate and SW Portland neighborhoods…

Raleigh Hills Home Settings –

Home locations boast tons of mature tree growth, hilly to the north of Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy but pretty flat to the south.  Thick vegetation and mature landscape, moss-covered rocks, deciduous and evergreens, native plants surround homes and thoroughfares.  Great access to Portland’s Sunset Highway (hwy 26).  Commercial area along Beaverton-Hillsdale is very average looking and could be Any-town USA.  Many 70’s style rental buildings to the east along commercial route.  Often no sidewalks through residential areas.  Significantly larger lot sizes than other residential areas.  Browse all Raleigh Hills Homes for Sale immediately.
