This hyphenated town was born as the Garden Home post office in 1882, along the Oregon Electric Railway. It also consists of the Whitford area which was named by combining the names of railroad investors W. A. White and A.C. Bedford, who were also directors of the railway.
Garden Home-Whitford is a small urban community home to 6,674 residents in Beaverton, located near the southwest hills of Portland. With an area of 1.9 square miles, this comfy set of blocks houses just a portion of the city. Some hi-rise apartments are mixed in with single-family homes of varying size. It makes for a diverse backdrop, which is easily navigated on foot and has a modern vibe. Those seeking something away from Portland's urban lifestyle can seek solace here while still being able to brunch at all the hot spots that serve the oft-fabled marionberry pancake.
