Nike\u2019s headquarters are in Beaverton, which is a city that is 7 miles west of Portland. <\/span>According to this 2020 list of the biggest companies in Oregon,<\/span><\/a> Nike is at #1 with 73,100 employees. Nike is a BIG deal here. The Portland area (which for our purposes include Beaverton) is also known for being home to many other outdoor clothing and sportswear brands as well, including companies like Adidas. So if you work for any of these companies, you may very well find yourself making the move to Portland!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my experience, people who work for Nike are very trend-oriented and design-driven. They want to live in the heart of it all, which means they want to live in a hip Portland neighborhood. They also want to live in Beaverton, which is a suburb of Portland and has a much different feel. Beaverton is straight up suburbia, and many people love it in part because they have families and want to live in that type of setting. Beaverton is also home to a Microsoft location, Tektronix, and other worldwide corporations have their HQs here as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this post I’m going to show you the best 5 Portland neighborhoods to live in if you\u2019re a Nike employee. All of the homes featured below are examples of what you can get in each neighborhood for around Portland\u2019s median home price, which at the end of September 2020 was at $451,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also going to include commute times from the addresses of the homes we\u2019re featuring to Nike\u2019s World Headquarters using different modes of transportation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. St. Johns<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re going to start this list off with a bit of a curveball. Portland\u2019s St. Johns neighborhood is the only neighborhood in this list that is east of the Willamette River. As of 2019, Portland\u2019s St. John\u2019s neighborhood\u2019s median home price point was at $365,500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Garden Home\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Garden Home is mostly unincorporated Portland, even though it has a Portland address. People like living here in part for tax reasons, and here you\u2019ll find a cool mix of old farmhouses and midcentury homes. (There are also rumors of a Trader Joe\u2019s coming to Garden Home\u2026?! This would be huge.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Garden Home Residence – Sold for $461,400<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Commuting times from this Garden Home residence to Nike Worldwide Headquarters:<\/p>\n
