Beaverton Real Estate Guide: What $500K, $600K, and $750K Actually Buys You in 2026

Beaverton is the Portland Metro suburb most buyers land on after they realize downtown Portland is not for them and Hillsboro is not close enough. But 'a home in Beaverton' means very different things at $500K, $600K, and $750K in 2026. Here is what each budget actually gets you.

Beaverton is the Portland Metro suburb most buyers land on after they realize downtown Portland is not for them and Hillsboro is not close enough. But "a home in Beaverton" means very different things at $500K, $600K, and $750K in 2026. Here is what each budget actually gets you — the real trade-offs, the real neighborhoods, and the honest limits.

The short answer

At $500,000 you are shopping townhomes, condos, and small older single-family homes in Aloha-adjacent pockets. At $600,000 you land near the current single-family median — a 1,600 to 2,200 square foot home in most of central Beaverton, Cedar Hills, or Cedar Mill. At $750,000 you unlock newer construction, larger footprints, or a top school zone in Bethany, upper Cedar Hills, or Cooper Mountain-adjacent south Beaverton.

Below is the current data and the honest breakdown at each price band.

What the Beaverton market looks like right now

As of August 2026, the numbers depend on the source and the slice:

• Redfin reports a median sale price of about $581,000 over the last three months, down 4.3 percent year over year, with median days on market around 25.
• Zillow reports about 740 active listings, an average sale price of about $530,000, and 31.1 percent of listings with price drops.
• Lovejoy Real Estate, sourcing RMLS, reports 720 single-family closings over the trailing twelve months with a median sale of $650,000, $301 per square foot, and 24 days on market.
• Altos Research puts the current median list price at $629,000 with a market action index around 41.

Translation: the overall city median is pulled down by condos and townhomes. Single-family detached homes cluster in the mid-$600Ks. Well-priced newer homes still move in three to four weeks. Roughly 1 in 3 active listings has taken a price reduction, meaning most sellers are having to meet buyers where the market actually is.

What $500,000 buys you in Beaverton

At $500,000 in 2026, single-family detached is a stretch unless you buy older, smaller, or in an outer pocket. What is realistic:

• Townhomes and rowhomes in central Beaverton and Cedar Hills, typically 1,300 to 1,700 square feet, 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2 to 2.5 bathrooms, HOA-managed exteriors.
• Condos near the Beaverton Transit Center and along Cedar Hills Boulevard.
• Small older single-family homes built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, generally 1,100 to 1,500 square feet on smaller lots, more often in Aloha, south of TV Highway, or on the outer edges of Beaverton proper.

Trade-offs at this price band:

• Updates are usually needed — kitchen, bath, roof, HVAC, or all four
• Yards are compact or shared
• School assignments vary sharply block by block — always verify
• HOA dues can add $200 to $400 per month to the true carrying cost

What $600,000 buys you in Beaverton

$600,000 is where the median single-family conversation happens. What is realistic:

• 1,600 to 2,200 square foot single-family homes, 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2 or 2.5 bathrooms
• Built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s with typical updates already done
• Real yards — usually 4,000 to 7,000 square foot lots
• Two-car garage, standard suburban layout

Neighborhoods in this range: most of central Beaverton, parts of Cedar Hills and Cedar Mill, established sections of Sexton Mountain, and some of the older Bethany streets. This is also the range where you get real school choice — many Beaverton School District top-rated elementary and middle-school boundaries sit in $600K neighborhoods.

Trade-offs at this price band:

• Kitchens and primary baths may still be pre-2010 finishes on the lower end
• Not usually new construction
• Corner-lot and view homes go faster and get bid up

What $750,000 buys you in Beaverton

At $750,000 in 2026, you unlock newer construction, larger footprints, or a specific top school zone. What is realistic:

• 2,200 to 3,000 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 to 3 baths
• Newer construction — 2015 or later — or a fully renovated older home
• Dedicated home office, larger primary suite, sometimes a bonus room
• Two- or three-car garage, larger lot in the 5,000 to 9,000 square foot range

Neighborhoods in this range: newer subdivisions in south Beaverton, upper Cedar Hills, Bethany, and the west side toward Cooper Mountain. Some Cedar Mill and Sexton Mountain streets also sit in this band with larger lots or view properties.

Trade-offs at this price band:

• Newer subdivisions can feel less established — smaller trees, more standardized floor plans
• HOAs are more common in newer builds
• The best-priced homes in this band still move in under three weeks

What most buyers get wrong about Beaverton

Two common mistakes:

1. Assuming the citywide median applies to your search. It does not. If you are shopping detached single-family with a yard, you are shopping the $600Ks and up, not the $520,000 average sale price you saw in a headline. Condos and townhomes pull that number down.

2. Ignoring school boundary changes. Beaverton School District boundaries have shifted historically and can shift again. If the school assignment matters — and it usually does for resale — verify the current assignment for the specific address, not the neighborhood name.
