Tigard is located at the junction of Interstate 5, Highway 99W and Highway 217 - only 11 miles from the Portland core, easy access to major interstate transportation routes.
While a few small farms remain in the city, for the most part they have been replaced by suburban housing. However, the John Tigard House, constructed by the son of Wilson M. Tigard in 1880 at the corner of Pacific Highway and Gaarde Street, remains, having been saved from demolition in the 1970s by the Tigard Area Historical and Preservation Association. It became registered as a National Historic Place in 1979, and now resides at the corner of SW Canterbury Lane and SW 103rd.
Tigard has many comfortable older neighborhoods in beautiful condition, and is growing by leaps and bounds. Lovely new homes and new neighborhoods are springing up in rapid progression. One of the fastest growing areas is beautiful Bull Mountain with a view of the Willamette Valley and the Cascade Range.

Aloha, Oregon
Aloha is an unincorporated community located in Washington County, Oregon. It was named in 1912 by Robert Caples, after the Hawaiian word, aloha, although the place name is pronounced Ah-lo-wa instead of /a lo ha/.
Aloha is a desirable and affordable market for working families due to its close proximity to a number of major Intel campuses, and the Nike world headquarters. The recent extension of the MAX (Metro Area Express) light rail line along Aloha's northern boundary makes it an easy commuter location. Aloha is serviced by two school districts, Beaverton and Hillsboro, which both consistently rank high on school performance evaluations.
