The Orenco Station Hillsboro Sunday Farmer's Market - our favorite Sunday morning activity - is here and we can't wait.

The farmer's market offers plenty of fresh food and great company, but one of the best parts about the farmer's market is the entertainment.  Check out the schedule of events to see what's coming.  It looks like Jon Koonce will be starting us off on May 14th - we'll see you there!


Orenco Station Named Best New "Burb"

5/5/2006 5:20:39 PM:
Sunset Magazine recently named Orenco Station the best new suburb on the west coast.

The category: New housing developments that feel like real communities.

The stats: 15 miles west of Portland; population about 2,600. On the edge of the “Silicon Forest” — home to such high-tech giants as Intel and Lattice.

Why Orenco Station: We see suburbs becoming more diverse, more interesting, more neighborly, and more like complete communities instead of just bedrooms. Some,
such as Oregon’s Orenco Station, are actually planned around mass transit. With a four-block walk to the light rail, Orenco Station has a town center filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants.

The story behind the burb: The award-winning 260-acre development, begun in 1997, focuses on the pedestrian and light-rail commuter rather than the classic car-centric suburbanite. The neighborhood itself is arranged around parks and a bustling Main Street.
