I'm retired and With a population of 55,395, Tigard is a smaller city. Crime rate is something to consider -Tigard sits at 214.0 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $105,008, which feels pretty solid for the area. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Worth the trade-offs? The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Bought a house here in 2023 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 10 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
