Traffic sucks eggs in Beaverville. The burbs are unwalkable. The good news is you can get out if you live close to MAX. Or, buy that $80,000 pickup truck that gets 12 MPG and fight traffic to get out.
12:15 I remember before the 90's invasion, the Portland area had among the most affordable housing anywhere on the west coast, a two bed one bath apartment was roughly $400 a month, and a three bed two bath single story home averaged around $95,000. My Grandparents bought their house, a three bed one bath, on SW 133rd and Rita Dr. back in 1986 for only $64,000.
7:02 When I used to walk to work every day, from SW 133rd and SW Rita Drive, to Cub Foods at the Beaverton Mall, I guess it's now called WinCo at Cedar Hills Crossing, I used to cut through that park from the Butner entrance, over the footbridge, and onto Huntington, it was a roughly 2.5 mile walk that I could power it in roughly 40 minutes, I was a day checker/stocker at Cub. The interesting thing is that I have reoccuring dreams of my path of that walk to this day, even after almost 26 years later.
What do you mean you ‘guess’ Cub is now called Winco?!?! It’s only been Winco for about 25 years! Ya joker you! And for the record, I miss going to ‘Cubby’s’, as my kids and I would call it, on Friday evenings. Rarely do I make it over to Winco, as it’s a zoo.
@@absolutelypositively Considering I moved out of Oregon over 26 years ago, when it was still Cub, my saying I guess is technically correct by all logic. Morons like you need to think before spouting off.
I remember when the summers averaged in the low to mid 70's, with the hottest two weeks getting no hotter than the mid 80's, last week of July to the first week of August, and the coldest the winters got was maybe mid 20's, at the end of December we'd get ice storms, and the end of February it would get into the low 30's, with snow that would be completely melted by the next day. However, climate change has really affected the Pacific NW, it's really hot and humid now during the summers, and the winters have now seen bad showfall that has lasted for days.
Summers are probably the best you’re going to get in all of the lower 48 states. It has been getting hotter, but nothing I can’t handle. I’ve been here since the summer of 89, from the east coast. There is little to no humidity..Matter of fact, of the 35 years I’ve been here, I’ve never had AC. Except for 1 summer (95) when I just happened to be living for a year in a townhouse that had it. And I never used it. By the time September rolls in you actually start too miss the rain. It doesn’t rain here in the summer. I say that by the fact that I keep track. I can recall summers where it doesn’t rain for over 100 days. Hence starting to miss it. Summer usually starts mid June, but lately it seems like we go straight from winter (also really mild, just wet) to summer with a couple of weeks of spring..The Pacific Northwest has the best climate in the country bar none for having a distinct 4 seasons. But yes, you’ve heard wrong about rain all year. I would have left long ago if that was the case. This video and all the pictures within is what it looks like from sunup to sundown for about 120 straight days (June July August September)… Hope this helps…having lived all over the country, live here 5 years and you’ll be used to the rainy months, and snicker to yourself out by the pool in July not missing the thunderstorms blowing the oppressive heat humidity, and air pollution out of site for another ten days til it happens again. PNW SUMMERS ROCK!!
I appreciate the detail in this response. I’ve actually moved to PNW officially and I love the climate. Summers are way too hot for my taste but thankfully, my apartment stays cool. No amount of rain would ever be too much for me, so I wasn’t even concerned about that. That’s why it was frustrating that so many youtubers kept talking about the rain and not mentioning what summers would be like. Anyway, thanks!
I live in Beaverton proper, and I have to say the peace I have living out here compared to Portland is significant. The parks we have out here are far superior to Portland’s. Perhaps what I appreciate most is that most of the homeless services lie within Multnomah County (Beaverton police are allowed to enforce laws here) so you don’t get a lot of “The Great Unwashed” gettin all cozy on your doorstep. Plus, out here we have a lot of concealed and open carry, which keeps most of the filth eastward.
I have lived in the midwest, South, and Northeast and now I'm in the pacific northwest. I lived in Seattle, WA, and Beaverton, OR. Compared to all other areas the pacific northwest is not really pretty. This may sound very strange considering the natural beauty of the region. The roads, the algae-covered ground, roads, and the buildings make it look ugly. The natural landscape is pretty when dry but gets ugly when cold and wet. The Portland and suburban area especially are dirty and nothing special or interesting about the region. In fact, it is a very boring area after you get your hiking fix or whatever little quirks that you are into like breweries or food, etc. The city is benefiting from the proximity to the Bay Area and Seattle to a large extent. Very few areas in the region are worth living in 24/7 365. Like near Seattle. But considering the weather, even those get boring after some time.

15:40 Is Tommy T's Billiards still located off Beaverton-Hillsdale, near the 217? My Dad's cousin used to hustle 9ball there all the time.
What are apartments like?? So y’all do apartments too I’m looking in the area from Texas and I can’t find anything affordable:/
Thank you. What are summers like? Every video I’ve seen only talks about rain but not a lot of info about the summer heat.
Summers are hot by Pacific Northwest standards. From 4th of July to Labor Day you’ll get mid 80s to mid 90s and at least a couple days of low 100s.

Are there 55+ communities?
Beaverton is not a great place to live. I lived there for many years. No town there. All spread out.
Downtown Beaverton has made quite the turnaround

What about Lake Oswego?
@@Mav0585 too expensive, full of snobs. Same with West Linn.
Does Beaverton have the homeless and drug addicts living on the street , taking over the sidewalks , like in portLand?
It’s night and day in that regard.
Homeless people from Portland are coming to Beaverton
Not only that but they go to the Beaverton library and every time I go walk to school there’s homeless people everywhere
That’s just the morning tho, when it’s the afternoon there all inside the library
Beaverton sucks, don’t get it twisted…
Compared to where?
Agreed
Beaverton is mad boring
The houses and neighborhoods are nice
