Aloha does not have a city hall, a mayor, or a city council. It is an unincorporated community of roughly 50,000 residents in Washington County, making it one of the largest unincorporated communities in Oregon and one of the most overlooked in the Portland metro. It sits along the Tualatin Valley Highway corridor between Beaverton and Hillsboro, close to Intel’s campuses and the broader Silicon Forest employment zone, and it has grown steadily for decades without ever incorporating.
That unincorporated status has real consequences for residents. Washington County handles permits, road maintenance, and zoning instead of a city planning department. Services are organized at the county level. And for a move, it means that the address system, permit requirements for truck staging, and building access rules follow Washington County standards rather than those of a city like Beaverton or Hillsboro.
The housing stock reflects the community’s organic growth: older ranch homes and smaller lots near the TV Highway commercial spine, newer townhomes and apartment complexes built more recently as demand from the tech corridor has pushed development westward. Royal Moving & Storage works all of Aloha, and our Washington County experience means we understand the permit structure and access rules that come with the territory.
Aloha moves tend to involve either the older ranch-home neighborhoods off the TV Highway or the newer apartment communities that have gone up in recent years. Either way, the planning centers on access, truck positioning, and timing relative to the OR-8 commute corridor. We give you a final price before the job starts, agreed upon before we load.
Aloha’s residential fabric is dense and varied. The older single-family blocks from the 1960s and 1970s have standard access: driveways, garages, and established streets. The newer apartment communities have building management requirements that need to be arranged in advance. Mixed-use buildings near the TV Highway have their own set of access rules. We assess the specific property before moving day and confirm the plan before the crew arrives.
Aloha’s commercial activity concentrates along TV Highway and in the industrial and office parks that serve the broader Washington County tech corridor. When businesses in this area relocate, we work around operating schedules, handle building access, and minimize downtime.
When a move leaves Oregon entirely, we handle it with dedicated transport, a full inventory, a clear price, and a confirmed delivery window. We do not broker Aloha long-distance moves to third parties.
Premium moving pads, stretch wrap, floor runners, and door protection are standard on every job. High-value or fragile items get an individual handling plan before the move begins.
When your Aloha move involves a gap in timing, we pick up, hold your belongings in a secure storage facility, and deliver when you are ready.
Aloha moves have real variables: Washington County permit requirements, apartment building rules, and a busy TV Highway corridor. We give you a price before we start and hold to it.
One person handles your move from first call through delivery. They know your property, your schedule, and your access situation. No handoffs.
On time, handled carefully, final cost matched the quote. That is the pattern across every platform.

Aloha is an unincorporated community of approximately 50,000 residents in Washington County, Oregon, located along the OR-8 Tualatin Valley Highway corridor west of Beaverton and east of Hillsboro. It covers roughly 11 square miles and is bounded by Beaverton to the east, Hillsboro to the west, and Beaverton and Tigard to the south. With no incorporated status, Washington County provides all government services, from road maintenance and zoning to permitting and code enforcement.
The community’s proximity to Intel’s Ronler Acres campus in Hillsboro and the Nike campus in Beaverton has made it part of the Silicon Forest employment zone even though it lacks the civic infrastructure of either city. Housing affordability, measured relative to its neighbors, has made it a practical choice for the large workforce that serves these employers without the incomes to afford closer-in housing.
The TV Highway corridor through the center of the community is the commercial and transit spine. TriMet bus service runs frequently along the corridor, connecting Aloha to Portland and to the MAX Blue Line at Beaverton Transit Center and at Hillsboro.
The origin of the name Aloha in this context is not definitively documented, though local tradition holds that early settlers with connections to Hawaii brought the name with them when they established a post office in the area in the early 20th century. The community grew slowly through the first half of the century as an agricultural area in the Tualatin Valley.
The postwar suburban expansion of the 1950s and 1960s began the transformation of Aloha into a residential community. Washington County invested in road infrastructure along the TV Highway corridor to serve the growing population, and the area filled in rapidly with the single-family subdivisions that still make up most of the housing stock. The decision not to incorporate has remained consistent ever since, reflecting a preference among property owners for county-level governance and lower municipal overhead.
The growth of the Silicon Forest in the 1980s and 1990s, centered on Intel’s expansion in Hillsboro, accelerated demand for housing in Aloha. New apartment complexes and townhome developments have continued to fill in available land along the highway corridor and in the areas south toward the Tualatin River.
Aloha moves have a few consistent variables worth planning for in advance.
The TV Highway corridor is the busiest road through the community, and a move that involves loading or delivery near the highway itself needs to account for traffic at commute windows, particularly the morning rush westbound and the afternoon rush eastbound toward Beaverton. For properties directly on or near the highway, we stage the truck at a time that avoids the worst congestion.
The older single-family neighborhoods have standard access in most cases, but parking for a large moving truck on narrower residential streets can require coordination with neighbors or a temporary permit through Washington County. We handle this in advance.
The newer apartment communities that have been built near the TV Highway and along the OR-8 corridor follow the standard multi-family protocol: advance scheduling with management, elevator or stair coordination, time windows for the loading area, and certificates of insurance where required.
Washington County, rather than a city, issues any permits needed for truck staging on county roads. The process differs from what residents of Beaverton or Hillsboro may be used to, and we are familiar with the Washington County requirements.
Aloha moves are mostly single-family homes on suburban streets between Beaverton and Hillsboro. Home size and street access shape the crew needed, and we put the estimate in writing before you book. The ranges below are typical starting points for a local Aloha move.
