Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a reasonably good transportation option in Bull Mountain. It is very easy to access a parking spot. In contrast, the public transit service in this part of the city is not very frequent. Nevertheless, property owners can rely on the Tigard TC WES Station with access to the WES Commuter Rail. The neighborhood is connected by about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are usually a short distance away. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very common in this area, despite the fact that many day-to-day needs can be carried out without a car. Bicycling is also occasionally challenging in this part of the city because there is a considerable amount of elevation changes, and the cycling infrastructure is not especially extensive.

Services

A grocery store is generally reachable within a reasonably short pedestrian trip from any location in this part of Tigard. Likewise, there are a good number of choices for those who appreciate nearby restaurants and cafes. As far as education is concerned, it is a rather short pedestrian trip to get to primary schools from any location in Bull Mountain. In contrast, high schools are not particularly abundant and thus not always within a short distance. Property buyers benefit from public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level.

Character

Bull Mountain has a character that caters to a fairly diverse group of people. Bull Mountain is very quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor. However, there are over 100 green spaces nearby for residents to explore, such as Heritage Pine Natural Area and Progress Lake Park, and they are very well-spread out, making them easy to reach. Finally, although this neighborhood is not known for its vibrancy, with its about 20 bars, there are options for nighttime activities.
