Introduction and Background

Meet the Green Family: Kevin, Natasha, Madeline, and Claire. This have recently made Progress Ridge their new home. Madeline and Claire both attend the Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering (BASE). Madeline is gearing up for her junior year of high school, while Claire is about to conquer the 7th grade. Their parents, Kevin and Natasha, run a local real estate brokerage named Madaire Realty, cleverly combining their daughters’ names, Madeline and Claire. Natasha also moonlights as a private investigator-so don’t try anything funny around her!

The Greens moved into the neighborhood just this past spring and are loving it so far. Practically still unpacking, they were drawn to the area because it’s close to everything-shopping, freeways, trails, you name it. Plus, it keeps their girls in the Beaverton School District, which was crucial for them.

Community and Lifestyle

The Green Family quickly fell in love with the Progress Ridge community. They’ve already met quite a few people while walking their dogs, and their closest neighbors have all been very friendly and welcoming. They appreciate that so many things are within walking distance, and they had a blast at the 4th of July parade. They’re already planning to participate next year-maybe with a float that doubles as a real estate billboard!  Just kidding, but they do own a classic 1954 Chevrolet truck that could be a nice addition.

The family has frequented many restaurants in the Progress Ridge Town Square shopping area, with Menchie’s being a particular favorite. It’s hard to resist the call of frozen yogurt, after all.

Family Dynamics and Interests

Kevin is a big sports and fitness enthusiast who regularly plays basketball and belongs to Villa Sports off Murray Blvd. Madeline dreams of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon and hopes to attend an Ivy League school. When she’s not studying, she’s an avid artist who loves to draw and paint. Claire, also an artist, enjoys making crafts and is a huge Harry Potter fan (Slytherin House, naturally). Natasha enjoys Hallmark movies, especially during the holidays, spending time with their animals and children, making new friends, and enjoying a glass of wine (or three).

The Greens are active in their church, Beaverton Christian Church. They enjoy walks, bike rides, and traveling together. And let’s not forget their family movie nights, complete with popcorn and Claire’s running Harry Potter commentary. They also make it a point to eat dinner together as a family most nights, feeling it brings them closer when they can talk about their day over a home-cooked meal-or takeout, depending on the day’s chaos level.

Personal Stories and Experiences

Although they haven’t been in the area for long, everyone has been very welcoming. The Greens are looking forward to making lasting memories for years to come.

They have already made connections with their neighbors and are excited to build on that with future BBQs and get-togethers. Kevin’s already planning a neighborhood Holiday party to bring more people together.

Children and Education

Madeline and Claire have made friends in the area and enjoy the trails and being able to walk down for treats at the local shops. Claire’s particularly fond of showing off her Slytherin pride. Madeline is involved in HOSA (Future Health Professionals) and has competed in medical debates at Internationals twice. The family is pretty sure she’s already smarter than both parents combined.

Future and Aspirations

The Greens plan to be a part of this neighborhood for years to come, building friendships and helping bring other families together. For any families considering a move to the area, they couldn’t recommend it more. The residents have been very welcoming, and it’s such a lovely community. Plus, it’s very accessible to get wherever you need to go. Pro tip from the Greens: keep a stash of frozen yogurt gift cards handy for instant popularity!
