Apartments Near Washington Square Mall in Tigard, Oregon
Searching for an apartment near Washington Square puts you in the busiest, most convenient corner of the Portland metro's west side, but it also puts you against thin inventory. The blocks right around the mall are mostly retail and older buildings, so new apartments within an easy drive are the real find. Montage Tigard sits in the Tigard Triangle at 13155 SW 68th Parkway, about a mile south of Washington Square, and this guide covers what living near the mall actually looks like.
Washington Square is not just any shopping center. It is Oregon's premier mall and one of the top-grossing shopping centers per square foot in the entire country, which is exactly why so many renters want to be close to it. Here is what that proximity buys you day to day.

What Is Near Washington Square
Washington Square spans about 1.46 million square feet with roughly 210 stores and restaurants, anchored by Macy's, Oregon's largest Nordstrom, JCPenney, an Apple Store, and Dick's Sporting Goods, plus a food court. It sits right on Highway 217, so it doubles as a commuting landmark, not just a weekend trip.
Around the mall you also get the Washington Square Loop of restaurants and services, quick grocery runs, and easy access to the OR-217 corridor toward Beaverton and I-5. For everyday errands, few Tigard addresses are more convenient.
How Close Is Montage to Washington Square
Montage is about a mile south of Washington Square, roughly a three to five minute drive. That is close enough to run to Nordstrom on a whim, but far enough that you are not living on top of mall traffic. You get the convenience without the congestion at your front door.
For tax-free shopping, that mile matters. Oregon charges no sales tax, so everything at Washington Square rings up at the shelf price, and Bridgeport Village, an upscale open-air center, sits a short drive south for a second option.
The Commute From This Part of Tigard
Living near Washington Square in the Tigard Triangle means you are wired into the whole west side. Montage has direct access to I-5, Highway 217, and Highway 99W, so downtown Portland is a short drive north, Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton is roughly ten minutes via Highway 217, and Portland International Airport is under thirty minutes. Washington Square being minutes away is a bonus on top of an already strong commute.
That combination, retail landmark plus freeway spine, is why the Tigard Triangle draws renters who want convenience in every direction. For how it compares to the rest of the city, see our best neighborhoods in Tigard guide.
