Is Tigard walkable?
First post here. Should I be concerned? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Weather-wise, the summers are surprisingly good and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value school system, you'll love it. The nightlife is genuinely surprisingly good and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Springfield) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is pretty good in most areas.

Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

Used to live on the The Heights side, now on the Pine Hills side. Completely different vibe. it's exactly what I was looking for.
