"I go to work with my own car and it is very rare that I use public transportation, although Beaverton is really great in terms of public transportation, as well as in terms of cleanliness and local access."

"There’s a lot of parks and there’s dog parks. However, I have nothing bad to say. A lot of places around the neighborhood have dog friendly stores."

"Good transportation to local markets and transit stations. Can be a little noisy. Easy access to highways and a lot of routes to get around heavy traffic."

"The transit system is great to get to downtown Portland you just have to figure out where to get off and where you have to switch to the next bus to get to where you want. Driving around beaverton is ok, driving to downtown Portland could take up to a hour depending on what time of day it is"

"I have lived in this area for six years. My family and I love the walk ability of the area and the close proximity to the freeway and mass transit. There is an incredible farmers market every Saturday that we love going to. The downtown Beaverton area has a lot of great little shops, a few restaurants and nice coffee houses. The parks in this area are the best. You can't beat Schiffler Park off Erickson. There is so much to do here. Walk, play basketball, join a game of soccer, play on the huge playgrounds, walk the boardwalk or check out the skate park. Our family especially loves the swing set on the Berthold entrance. It's beautifully tucked away and simple. "

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved our daughter from a charter school to William Walker. The teachers there are great. They show their love for the kids. As 2nd graders, not only do they have math, English, PE, etc., and the school also provides Music, Technology, and Library. Kids get to borrow two books every week, it has been only a month, and my daughter started to like reading a lot. Previously my daughter always struggled with Math, but now she is enjoying doing math work. We are very surprised to see what a big change happened to her. Her classroom teacher is very nice and experienced. We are so impressed after the first teacher-parent conference with her. This is probably the biggest decision that as parents we made to move our daughter to William Walker. Our daughter now is a happy 2nd grader.Parent Review3y ago13 Reviews - German International School Portland

My child is thriving, the teachers are amazing and highly skilled, and the parent community is amazing. Every student is encouraged to develop the best of who they are. Learning is hands-on, student-centered, and student-led, with many field trips in the community. The expressive arts program is amazing. Living Wisdom School has been the absolute best choice for our child and our family.Parent Review10y ago1 Reviews
