Portland's outer western area is made up of the western fringes of Sherwood, Tualatin, Tigard, Aloha, Hillsboro and the city of Forest Grove. Development generally features sprawling subdivisions that transition into more rural acreage and farmland. Forest Grove is a college town acts as a commuter suburb for larger employment nodes to the east. Highway 8 (Pacific Avenue) forms the main east/west arterial through the city, connecting further north to Highway 6, a main route of travel to the Oregon Coast.

Pacific University, located off Pacific Avenue near the central portion of the city, was founded in 1849. Enrollment at the institution is around 4,000, including graduate students, and the faculty numbers in the hundreds. Given that Forest Grove is a smaller city, the student body here collectively generates a sizable economic impact for local retailers and restaurants during the school year.

Aside from education, healthcare and retail trade jobs power the local economy. Retail development is clustered along the city’s main arterials and in the downtown core. Major big-box names like Safeway, Walmart, and Dollar Tree are located fronting Pacific Avenue. The area is served by one high school and one middle school.

Office rental rates here are attractive when compared to the larger metro area. The area offers a viable alternative to tenants looking to relocate from Portland’s more expensive clusters to the east and take advantage of a growing need for services on the west side.
