The Hatfield Government Center in Hillsboro is the western terminus of the MAX Blue Line, part of the Portland metropolitan area's light-rail system.[93] The presence of MAX prompted the development of the pedestrian-oriented community of Orenco Station within Hillsboro.[94][95] (See also: Orenco, Oregon.) Orenco Station was called the Best Planned Community of 1999 by the National Association of Home Builders.[96] It was also named "Best new burb" by Sunset magazine in 2006.[97] Hillsboro overall was listed on CNN Money Magazine's list of best places to live in 2010 for cities with populations between 50,000 and 300,000 residents.[98] The city came in at 92, the highest ranking for any city in the state.[98]
