There is not much room left for population growth in Hillsboro.
The Hillsboro real estate market is landlocked, meaning there isn’t much room for growth. There is almost no vacant land left to develop once the Reed’s Crossing project is finished. Hillsboro is completely surrounded by other suburbs, so they have no room to expand their borders. We believe this means buying a home in Hillsboro is likely to be a stable long-term investment.
