Banks offers small-town ease with quick access to big-city opportunity. Set in Washington County between farmland and forested foothills, it’s a short drive to Hillsboro, Forest Grove, and Portland, making commutes and weekend outings simple. You’ll find a friendly main street, local eateries, and services supported by the City of Banks.
Outdoors, the community anchors the Banks–Vernonia State Trail, a 21-mile paved path ideal for cycling, running, and family strolls. Just up the route, L. L. Stub Stewart State Park offers campgrounds and miles of trails for mountain biking and hiking. Road riders also appreciate the Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway, which begins in town and rolls through fields and vineyards.
Families value the cohesive Banks School District, with neighborhood schools and active extracurriculars, plus the community-focused Banks Public Library. Throughout the year, residents gather for youth sports, farm stands, and the beloved summer Banks BBQ, a tradition that brings music and food to the heart of town. Housing spans classic ranch homes, newer cul-de-sacs, and acreage properties, often with convenient trail or countryside access.
