Movers in Hillsboro, OR
Hillsboro's Silicon Forest draws engineers and tech professionals from across the country-and Star Van Lines moves them in. Local moves start at $99-$199/hr; long-distance routes begin at $1,492. Registered with FMCSA under USDOT 4176875, we handle everything from Orenco Station condos to Reed's Crossing master-planned homes, working around Intel commute traffic and Oregon's long rainy season.
Dennis has 15+ years of experience in interstate moving and has coordinated over 1,000 relocations across the United States.
Intel's Ronler Acres and Jones Farm campuses sit right here in Hillsboro, making this city the operational center of Oregon's Silicon Forest. Engineers, biotech professionals, and advanced manufacturing workers relocate here from across the country, and we've been coordinating those moves since 2016. Star Van Lines is FMCSA-registered under USDOT #4176875 and MC #1607491, with 240+ verified reviews and coverage across all 50 states. Whether you're arriving for a role at Intel, HP Inc., Nike, or Genentech-or leaving Hillsboro for a new opportunity elsewhere-our crew knows this market well. No two moves here look the same. Orenco Station's dense, walkable blocks are nothing like the semi-rural lots in West Union, and Reed's Crossing's HOA-governed townhomes bring their own set of requirements. Add Oregon's long rainy season-roughly 36-42 inches of annual precipitation, most of it falling between late fall and spring-and you've got conditions that demand real local experience. We plan around US-26 and TV Highway commute congestion, bring floor runners and furniture wrap for wet-weather moves, and confirm COI and HOA requirements before your move day. Here's what local and long-distance service looks like from Hillsboro.
Local moves in Hillsboro run at $99-$199/hr depending on crew size, truck configuration, and the specific demands of your property. A studio or one-bedroom in a straightforward single-family home in Jackson School or Northwest Hillsboro typically wraps in 2-4 hours. A two-bedroom in Tanasbourne or Orenco Station-where elevator reservations and structured parking lots are common-can run 4-6 hours. Larger three-bedroom homes in Reed's Crossing or Southeast Hillsboro generally take 6-8 hours or more.
A few things affect timing here that don't come up in every market.
Intel and other Silicon Forest employers create heavy commute traffic on US-26, Cornell Road, and Brookwood Parkway during morning and evening peak hours. We schedule truck arrivals before 8 AM or after 10 AM when possible, because even a modest delay on US-26 can push your whole day back by an hour or more. In Orenco Station and Tanasbourne, mid-rise condo buildings often require elevator reservations and proof of insurance-we'll need written confirmation of allowed truck locations and time windows before your move date. In West Union and rural fringe areas, long or narrow private driveways may require a shuttle truck rather than a full-size trailer. And from October through May, we bring floor runners and plastic wrap as standard. Oregon's wet season is real. Driveways get slick fast.
Moving out of Hillsboro to another state? We provide binding estimates on all long-distance moves, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay. No surprises at delivery.
Our network covers all 50 states, with 43 warehouse locations nationwide to support staging and storage when your timeline needs flexibility. Common long-distance routes from Hillsboro include Denver at 1,240 miles with a base price of $1,492, Dallas at 2,060 miles from $1,736, Chicago at 2,110 miles from $1,766, and Atlanta at 2,620 miles from $1,810. These base prices scale with inventory volume, access conditions, and any additional services like full-value protection or packing.
You'll work with a single coordinator from quote to delivery-one point of contact, no handoffs between departments. Peak season runs June through August. If you're planning a summer move out of Hillsboro, booking early gives you more scheduling flexibility and avoids the tightest availability windows, since that period fills up faster than most people expect.

We serve all 50 states, so whether you're relocating to Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, or anywhere else, we've got the route covered.

Hillsboro's neighborhoods range from dense urban-suburban hubs to semi-rural fringe communities-and each brings its own moving logistics.
Orenco Station is probably Hillsboro's most talked-about area, built around the Orenco MAX light rail station with townhomes, condos, and mixed-use buildings. Parking near the commercial core is tighter than typical suburbs. Check posted restrictions and time limits before your move day. Mid-rise condo buildings commonly require elevator reservations and a Certificate of Insurance from your mover, so confirm building-specific rules with your property manager in advance. Because internal streets are narrower here, large trucks should plan off-peak arrivals to avoid pedestrian and vehicle congestion.
Reed's Crossing (South Hillsboro) is newer and more spread out than Orenco, with multiple HOAs governing single-family homes and townhomes. Movers often need to provide a COI for certain managed buildings-contact your HOA before scheduling. Roads are wide and new, but ongoing construction can create temporary closures. Build extra time into your plan.
Jackson School has an established, leafy suburban feel in north Hillsboro. Streets are moderately wide with no commonly reported steep grades or unusual access constraints. Portions of the neighborhood have a community HOA; call (855) 822-2722 for details about moving logistics there.
Northwest Hillsboro / Rock Creek is a family-oriented mix of mid-century and newer homes near parks and trails. Most properties have garages and driveways with standard suburban street parking. It's generally one of the more straightforward areas to move into or out of. Contact us at (855) 822-2722 for details specific to the Rock Creek area.
West Union sits on Hillsboro's northern edge with larger lots and a semi-rural character. Longer private driveways-sometimes gravel or narrow-are common here. Confirm driveway length, surface type, and truck turning radius before move day, because a shuttle truck may be needed instead of a full-size tractor-trailer.
Southeast Hillsboro offers a mix of older subdivisions and newer developments with more affordable housing options. Access is generally straightforward, although school-zone congestion during peak hours can slow truck movement on residential streets.
Tanasbourne / AmberGlen straddles the Hillsboro-Beaverton border and draws renters and younger professionals with its high-density apartments and condos near Tanasbourne Town Center. Many multi-story buildings require scheduled elevator times and proof of insurance-coordinate with building management well ahead of your move. Some complexes have gated or controlled garage access requiring a gate code or fob. Traffic near the 26/185th interchange can delay truck arrival during busy periods.
Climate and Lifestyle
Hillsboro has a temperate Pacific Northwest climate: cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Winter highs run 45-50°F with lows around 34-37°F. Light snow is possible, and even a few inches can disrupt roads faster than you'd expect. Spring brings highs of 55-68°F but frequent rain keeps driveways and walkways slick for weeks at a stretch. Summer is the most reliable moving season, with highs of 75-82°F, although heat waves can push temperatures into the 90s or above 100°F-morning slots are smarter on those days. Fall cools steadily with increasing rain and wind.
Annual precipitation runs roughly 36-42 inches, mostly October through May. Plan for floor runners, furniture wrap, and covered staging during the long wet season. Because the rainy period stretches nearly seven months, it's not something you can simply schedule around-you plan for it.
Job Market and Major Employers
Hillsboro is the core of Oregon's Silicon Forest. Intel Corporation anchors the local economy with its Ronler Acres and Jones Farm campuses-among the largest Intel facilities in the country. Nike, Inc. is headquartered nearby in Washington County, and many Hillsboro residents commute there. Hewlett-Packard (HP Inc.) maintains operations in the area, and Genentech, along with other biotech and advanced manufacturing firms, operates in Hillsboro's business parks.
Dominant industries include semiconductors, software, biotech, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing. These sectors draw skilled workers from across the country who need reliable relocation support-and in most cases, they're working against tight start-date timelines.
Cost of Living and Housing
No verified city-wide median home value or rental figure was available in our research data for Hillsboro. What sources do confirm: home prices are higher in the southern parts of the city and more affordable in central areas. Hillsboro is broadly more affordable than central Portland while still sitting above many national averages, driven by tech-sector demand from Intel and Silicon Forest employers.
For current pricing on your move, local rates run $99-$199/hr. Long-distance routes start at $1,492 to Denver, $1,736 to Dallas, $1,766 to Chicago, and $1,810 to Atlanta. Call (855) 822-2722 for an exact quote.
Tips for Moving to Hillsboro
Work around Silicon Forest commute traffic. US-26, TV Highway (OR-8), Cornell Road, and Brookwood Avenue get heavily congested during Intel and tech-employer commute hours. Aim for mid-day moves or schedule truck arrival before 8 AM or after 10 AM.
Prepare for rainy-season conditions (October-May). With 36-42 inches of annual rain, driveways and walkways stay slick for months. Bring floor runners, plastic-wrap furniture, and use garage or covered staging areas to keep items dry.
Confirm HOA and building rules early. Orenco Station, Reed's Crossing, Jackson School HOA sections, and Tanasbourne/AmberGlen complexes often require truck parking approval, elevator reservations, and a Certificate of Insurance. Get written confirmation before move day.
Check access for rural fringe properties. West Union and areas near Mountaindale can have long, narrow, or gravel private drives. Confirm driveway dimensions and turning space in advance-a shuttle truck may be necessary.

Is Star Van Lines licensed to move in Hillsboro, OR?
Yes. Star Van Lines is fully licensed and FMCSA-registered to operate in Hillsboro and throughout Oregon. Our credentials are USDOT #4176875 and MC #1607491 - you can verify both at the FMCSA's official website. We carry the insurance required for both local and interstate moves and can provide Certificates of Insurance for HOA-managed communities like those in Orenco Station, Reed's Crossing, and Tanasbourne. Call (855) 822-2722 with any questions about our licensing.
What's the best time of year to move in Hillsboro?
Summer (June-August) is the most reliable season for moving in Hillsboro. The area receives roughly 36-42 inches of rain per year, most of it falling between late fall and spring, so dry summer days make logistics much simpler. That said, summer heat waves can push temperatures into the 90s and occasionally above 100°F, so morning slots are preferable on hot days. If you're moving in fall or winter, plan for slick driveways, muddy walkways, and the occasional snow or freezing rain event that can disrupt side streets. Call (855) 822-2722 to discuss scheduling options.
Do I need to worry about HOA rules or parking permits for my Hillsboro move?
It depends on your neighborhood. Master-planned communities like Reed's Crossing and Orenco Station often have HOA rules covering truck parking locations, allowed time windows, and required Certificates of Insurance. Multi-story buildings in Tanasbourne and Orenco Station may also require elevator reservations and proof of insurance from your mover. We recommend getting written confirmation from your HOA or property manager before your move date. Star Van Lines can provide the COI documentation you need - just call (855) 822-2722 ahead of time so we can have paperwork ready.
Do you offer storage options for my Hillsboro move?
Yes. Star Van Lines has 43 warehouse locations nationwide, so whether you need short-term storage during a transition or longer-term solutions between homes, we've got you covered. This is especially useful for Hillsboro moves involving new construction in areas like Reed's Crossing, where build timelines can shift. Storage is also a practical option if you're relocating for an Intel or tech-sector job and your start date doesn't line up perfectly with your move-in date. Call (855) 822-2722 to ask about storage availability and pricing for your specific situation.
What areas around Hillsboro does Star Van Lines serve?
