Tour our Independent Living Retirement Community
Active Retirement Community
Our retirement & assisted living community is home to our residents. Nestled in a quiet Hillsboro neighborhood outside of Portland, each apartment in our community meets the requirements of both functionality and aesthetics.
Be sure to check out our floor plans for details on our studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites. Please note that, due to the health concerns of all residents, Cornell Estates is a non-smoking community.
Enjoy our beautiful garden areas from your balcony or stroll through our courtyard. Relax in the sunshine, chat with friends, or even adopt a garden planter for your very own use! Click Take a Photo Tour on the right side of this page to tour our community.
