    Hi Saratha,

    My name is Sindhu, accidentally went through this page and very happy that you have taken nice initiative of providing/helping with useful information to people. :) I will be moving to Oregon shortly with my twin boys of 6 years old. I have no idea on the place and where to look for houses/Schools etc. Can you please let me know the factors that I should consider for choosing schools and area for choosing house too! My husbands office is at Hillsboro.

    Thanks,

    Hi sindhu
    WARM welcome first of to oregon! I'll guarantee you will love each day of your stay in portland!
    Factors totally depend on your choices and lifestyle.
    School district popu large among Indians here is beaverton school district and hence beaverton / bethany is the Hotspot for schools.
    But I since these two places are overcrowding...the next place u can lean on is hillsboro.
    I live in hillsboro area where my husband heads to work just like 2 miles to 5 miles away... so getting stuck in traffic is avoided.
    The elementary school where my son goes is 6 in rating and to us it's a good rating for a school that started in 2008.
    I'm not sure what are your priorities are...so when u have confusion in any area... ping me I'll help u with as much info I know.
    Hoping to see u in person once you move.
    Take care.

    Hi Saratha

    we are moving within USA and we have been here for a very long time. the two apartments that you mentioned in Hillsboro doesn't have any availability. so can you please suggest some others. my priorities are playmates for my daughter and reasonably good school.

    Thanks
    Mrudula

    Can check creekside apartment, club at tanasbourne, the Terrance, avana, nexus, theoncroft, lions gate, tesseraapts.com,the orchards, platform district...
    All these are Hillsboro based and around my home that I see everyday
    There's one other too which is close to indian stores...forgot their names..Google search for apna Bazar and you will get some apartments closer to it.
