One of the biggest concerns for families in and around Beaverton, Oregon, when they are looking to buy a home is “How safe is Beaverton?” Well, I personally feel Beaverton, Oregon, real estate is pretty safe, but what about when you aren’t around?
This is where the City of Beaverton police has really stepped it up. I always used to hate going on vacation prior to buying an alarm for my house and even then I still get a feeling in the pit of my stomach from time to time about all my stuff sitting back at home without me and really just hoping it is still there when I get home. (I had my home broken in to when I was in college, so I still never really got over that.)
So, how is the City of Beaverton helping me feel more at ease? They are starting a new program called “Vacation Check”. This is where they drive by your house from time to time, just to make sure everything is alright while you area away. The only thing is that you have to submit your request at least 72 hours prior to going on vacation and the vacation can’t be for less than 7 days and can be no longer than 3 weeks.
The Beaverton
Police department says thought there is no
guarantee that a break in won’t still occur, they do feel that this
will reduce
the chances of a citizen who is a resident of Beaverton,
Oregon, will have less
of a chance of becoming a victim thanks to this program. I personally
feel that
this program will help Beaverton,
Oregon, real estate in the form of home
values, because security really is a major component in value.

What if there was a way you could search the MLS for FREE just like Realtors
Now you can access the MLS using similar tools as Realtors. You are in control of what you want to search for, and you can search the MLS at your leisure. The information you submit in the form below can also be used to put you on an automated system where you'll be emailed all homes that meet your search criteria. You'll get internet access to a website that includes pictures, prices, and addresses to real estate that's listed in the MLS!
That sure sounds like an excellent service Todd. In our community in Sewalls Point, we have a similar set up. Then again, there's still that good burglar alarm that works 24/7.
Todd, my home town will actually check doors if requested too because I did get a call once & that's because one of my sons had come over & left it unlocked! It's a great service & it makes a great localism post...i need to remember that!
Small town life has its joys. I'm sure the Seattle Police Department would welcome my request too. Sure.
Good for Beaverton, that's a great service.
Nice one, Glenn. I know that Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point actually have this service, I've had a client use it, but that's a small Police Department.
wow..what a nice offering! That must make folks feel better, right? Have a great sunday!
Todd,
What a great way to advertise the city! I lived in Beaverton for 30 years and always felt secure in the area, and now the city is going the extra mile!
Sounds like another idea to help sell homes in the area for you Todd. I doubt your area has much crime already. An alarm system isn't bullet proof any way.
Having a neighbor that is willing to keep an eye on the place is also a good idea!!!
I do think this is a really good idea and hopefully it will help keeps one persons possessions safe.
