Hillsboro Manufactured Home Installation & Site Development

Hillsboro sprawls across the Tualatin Valley in central Washington County, with terrain that is predominantly flat on the valley floor and gently rolling toward the Tualatin Mountains to the east and the Coast Range foothills to the west. The city covers a large geographic area, and site conditions vary significantly from the developed eastern neighborhoods near Intel's Ronler Acres campus to the agricultural western portions near Helvetia and North Plains. Soils in the Hillsboro area include Woodburn silt loam and Willamette silt loam on the valley floor, with Laurelwood and Kinton silt loams on the higher ground. These soils are generally workable for construction but require careful drainage management during the wet season, particularly on the flat valley floor where water does not drain naturally.

The City of Hillsboro Planning Department handles building and land use permits within city limits, while the surrounding unincorporated area falls under Washington County Land Use and Transportation. Hillsboro has specific manufactured dwelling standards, and the western rural portions of the city and adjacent county land are where most manufactured home activity occurs. Washington County's rural areas west of Hillsboro, including the Helvetia, North Plains, and Farmington areas, have significant numbers of manufactured homes on agricultural and rural residential parcels. We manage all permitting coordination with both city and county jurisdictions.

Hillsboro is home to Intel's largest manufacturing campus and serves as the hub of Oregon's Silicon Forest technology corridor. Despite its urban core, the western half of the Hillsboro area retains a distinctly rural agricultural character, with nurseries, grass seed farms, and vineyards stretching toward the Coast Range. The Hillsboro School District is one of the largest in Oregon. Our crews work primarily in the rural western and southern portions of the Hillsboro area, including properties along Farmington Road, Reedville and Cornelius Pass Road, the Helvetia area north of Highway 26, and the rural parcels along David Hill Road toward Forest Grove and Gaston.

From our Jefferson headquarters, Hillsboro is approximately one hour and 15 minutes north via I-5 and Highway 99W through Newberg and Sherwood, or via Highway 22 to Highway 18 to Highway 99W. The exact route depends on which part of the Hillsboro area we are serving. We coordinate Hillsboro projects with other Washington County work in Forest Grove, Banks, and the surrounding area to maximize efficiency during each trip to the region.

The contrast between Hillsboro's tech-driven urban core and its agricultural western edges creates an unusual housing dynamic. Rural property owners in the Hillsboro area often choose manufactured homes as practical, cost-effective housing on larger parcels, particularly on farm and nursery properties where the primary land use is agricultural. Our complete site development service is well-suited to these properties, handling everything from site clearing and grading through foundation work, septic installation, home placement, and all required inspections and utility connections.
