Cozy, countryside living in the Willamette Valley

Surrounded by thousands of acres of farmland and open fields, Crabtree is a quaint, unincorporated community around 10 miles east of Albany. Settled by the Crabtree family in 1845, the neighborhood is just east of the South Santiam River. It’s a quiet area with little through traffic, where neighbors know each other’s names. “Crabtree is the place to live if you’re looking for a small, one-horse town in rural Oregon,” says Angela Cambern, a local Realtor with Cambern Homes LLC. “You have to drive to either Lebanon or Albany for groceries and restaurants, but both are less than 15 miles away. It’s a really cute area only comprised of residential streets, farms and a small post office.”

Farmhouses and ranch-style homes in Crabtree

Modest farmhouses, ranch-style homes and bungalows make up Crabtree’s architectural scene, most built between the 1920s and 1970s.
