King City Is One of Oregon's Smallest Cities. Its Location Inside Tigard Makes It Unique.
King City is a city of about 3,500 residents entirely surrounded by Tigard and Tualatin, tucked into roughly half a square mile of residential land in Washington County. It has its own city government, its own city charter, and its own boundary, but step outside it in any direction and you are in Tigard. The two cities share schools, fire service, and many daily conveniences. What King City has that Tigard does not is a quiet interior, a strong sense of neighborhood cohesion, and a housing stock that is modest in price relative to much of the southwest Washington County market.
The city was originally developed in the 1960s as a planned retirement community with an age restriction. That restriction has been lifted for many years, and King City today is a mixed-age community. The homes that were built for the original retirement market are predominantly single-story ranches and smaller cottages on compact lots, which gives the city a consistent and manageable character. Tigard’s commercial corridor along Pacific Highway and the Bridgeport area are both within a short drive.
Moves in and out of King City are typically efficient for exactly these reasons: smaller homes, compact lots, and a residential atmosphere with no through traffic. Royal Moving & Storage handles King City moves with flat-rate pricing and the same Washington County experience that covers Tigard and Tualatin.

King City, More Than an Address
King City by the Numbers
King City is a city of approximately 3,500 residents in Washington County, Oregon, covering about 0.5 square miles entirely within the Tigard urban area. It borders Tigard on all sides and shares many services with the larger city, including school district coverage under the Tigard-Tualatin School District. Pacific Highway (OR-99W) and the commercial corridors of Tigard are within a few minutes of any address in the city.
The city has its own city council, city manager, and charter, and maintains its own public works infrastructure. Washington County provides county-level services, and the city coordinates with Tigard and the broader regional service network for fire response, utilities, and other functions.
The History of the City
King City was incorporated in 1966 as a planned retirement community on land that was previously part of the agricultural belt along the Tualatin River valley. The development was designed specifically for residents aged 55 and older, with housing scaled and configured for the retirement market. Single-story homes, compact lots, and a community clubhouse were the signature features of the original development.
The age restriction that defined the community for its first decades was eventually relaxed, and King City has evolved into a mixed-age residential community while retaining the housing character established in its founding years. The smaller home sizes and modest lot dimensions have kept prices accessible relative to the surrounding Washington County market, attracting residents who value the southwest metro location without the costs of larger homes in Tigard and Tualatin.
What a King City Move Actually Involves
King City moves have a consistent character that differs from most of the metro area.
The single-story ranch homes that dominate the city are efficient to move. No staircase, relatively compact rooms, and inventory that is typically sized for the house. The lots are small, and driveways tend to be short, which means truck positioning on the residential street is the norm. The streets within the city are quiet and accessible.
The surrounding Tigard grid connects King City to OR-99W and the broader southwest metro with no significant access complications. Moves between King City and the Tigard commercial areas, Tualatin, or Portland are straightforward in terms of routing.
The main variable for King City moves is typically inventory itself: residents who have downsized into smaller homes occasionally have more belongings than the current home holds, and staging and storage planning for those situations is worth addressing before moving day.
