Pros & Considerations of Living in Sexton Mountain

Hillside construction: elevated lots can mean more retaining walls, drainage considerations and steeper driveways — worth a close look during inspection.

OR-217 congestion: a real factor at peak commute hours — test your specific route and timing.

Distance from central Beaverton: being on the southwest edge means a slightly longer drive to the core retail and transit hub.
