Metzger Park: National Night Out
The National Night Out was well attended by Metzger neighborhood families. This national event is designed to improve safety in neighborhoods by introducing firefighters, law enforcement, parametics and neighbors to each other. This was a family freindly event that had free ice creram, cookies, and punch provided by local businesses. The fire truck was a big hit with the kids and "McGruff the Crime Dog" was making friends. A good time was had by all at Metzger Park.

Tigard Homes for Sale: Metzger Market Report

As of Jan.1, 2008, first time home buyers do not have many choices for housing in the Metzger neighborhood. My usual criteria for most first time home buyers is a house less than $300,000, which ideally would make their house payment less than $2000.00 per month. The idea is to find any suitable home you can afford and then trade up after a few years when you have some equity.
I've done a computer search and there are 3 condos and 2 detached (houses) homes for sale in Metzger. Both houses seem to be ideal for first time home buyers and one of the condos was priced at $115,000, (2 bedroom, 1 bath, 776 square feet), which is a real bargain for anyone interested in condos.

Henry Metzger, a German immigrant, platted Metzger in 1910. Parts of the neighborhood of Metzger are located in the northern part of the City of Tigard and parts lie in unincorporated Washington County. The area is noted for older homes on larger lots and has been the target for infill homes for the last 10 years. One of the main attractions of Metzger is that it is ideally located close to freeway access and the Washington Square Shopping Center while many parts of Metzger have a rural feel. Metzger Elementary School is in a new building and the 7 acre Metzger Park is a community meeting center and an ideal location to rent for special events.
