Stylish communities of two-story Craftsman and New Traditional homes

East Albany’s streets break off into communities of stylish two-story Craftsman and New Traditional homes. "East Albany was previously a lovely rural area where people had a self-sustaining lifestyle with horses in their backyards," says Jill Schuster, who has lived in the area for nearly 20 years as principal broker at Triple Oaks Realty-Corvallis. "Now, it’s a place with homes that people are looking for with higher executive-type rentals. East Albany has good investment properties and nice places to rent." Despite their 21st-century construction, some homes have occasional Victorian features, complementing historic districts closer to the city center. This is especially true of subdivisions like Bridle Springs, where houses are colorful and well-maintained on small lots with garages and backyards often bordered by wooden fences. East Albany becomes more suburban farther south as single-story homes take root in neighborhoods below the Santiam Highway. On 18th Avenue, midcentury modern homes sit on well-landscaped lawns. Home prices in East Albany range from $300,000 to $600,000. There are several RV parks throughout East Albany with manufactured homes. These communities, like Three Lakes Estates, have homes that can cost between $100,000 and $400,000.

Spending the day at Timber Linn Memorial Park or exploring Talking Water Gardens

Timber Linn Memorial Park features a war memorial with a nonfunctional military cannon. It also has baseball fields, a disc golf course and an 11-acre lake to fish for rainbow trout. “Timber Linn Park used to be horseshoes and nothing else. Now it’s a pretty significant place to gather,” Capaci says. The Albany Dog Park is one of Timber Linn’s most recognizable attributes, with a wood-chip play area and a splash pool. Waverly Park is a modest green space with walking paths and picnic tables, and Waverly Lake offers paddle boats and kayak rentals.
