King City is a small planned community of about 5,000 just west of Tigard along OR-99W, originally developed in the 1960s–70s around its golf course and aimed at active adults. It retains a quiet, village-like feel — the King City Civic Association runs community facilities — while sitting minutes from Tigard's shopping, Washington Square, and WES commuter rail. Housing skews toward single-level homes and condos popular with downsizers.
