Pacific Relocation's take
Where our renters land for errands-on-foot and a fast 217.
The Washington Square district is the most apartment-dense pocket in Tigard, built up around the region's busiest mall, and it is our default for renters who want everything close and the freeway closer. You can cover groceries, the gym, the mall and a deep bench of international restaurants without driving far, and Highway 217 puts Beaverton, Nike and the Sunset corridor within an easy reach — handy for two-job households splitting commutes. The honest trade-offs are that this is a retail district first and a neighborhood second, so you trade quiet and yards for convenience, and the assigned high school sits middling. Metzger Elementary is the bright spot, rating a notch above the district. Inventory is almost all apartments, the larger complexes turn over constantly, and softening rents plus frequent lease-up specials make this one of the better spots in the city to negotiate. We place a lot of relocating professionals and couples here for the first year while they learn the westside.

Our advice
Before you sign a lease
- This is a retail-first district — confirm how close the unit sits to mall and 217 traffic, and tour on a weekend afternoon
- Large complexes lean on lease-up concessions that vanish at renewal; verify the post-concession rent before signing
- Several buildings cap pets at two and add monthly pet rent plus weight limits — get the full pet policy, not just the lease summary
