About this Neighborhood

Merlo Station is a low-key transit-oriented pocket built around the Beaverton-area campus of Merlo Station High School, which opened in 1993. The dining is sparse, just one restaurant, but the cafes and bakeries carry the day: seven coffee shops plus standout patisseries, with five grocers keeping daily life close. Oyatsupan Bakers is the marquee Japanese bakery, La Rose Patisserie brings the French pastry, and Shoten Japanese Dining covers the sit-down craving. With four parks, four fitness studios, and a couple of courts, the neighborhood trades a big restaurant scene for green space and genuinely excellent baked goods.
