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. Talking Water Gardens is a wildlife habitat in a former wastewater treatment area with herons, mink and 100 species of birds. The gardens also include wetland trails with white oak forests and waterfalls. Lexington Park is a community space with open fields, a basketball court and two playgrounds.Meadow Ridge and Timber Ridge School - top choices for early education
The Greater Albany Public School District serves over 9,000 students and is ranked by Niche as one of the Top 40 best school districts in Oregon. Meadow Ridge Elementary School, for Kindergarten through third grade, offers early career and technical education and earns a B-minus grade from Niche. Fourth through eighth-grade students attend Timber Ridge School, which maintains a C-plus. Its Homecoming festivities include dress-up days for Spirit Week. South Albany High School earns a B-minus and has AP and dual enrollment courses through which students can earn college credit before graduation.Festivals, dog shows and livestock conventions
At Timber Linn Memorial Park, the Northwest Art & Air Festival features art vendors, food trucks and hot air balloons flown into the clouds above the city one weekend in August. “The Bassett Hound Nationals are held here the first week of September. It’s a pretty big event,” says Lonna Capaci, administrator for the Albany Visitors Association. The Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival includes wool spinning, livestock vendors and fiber-made crafts, also in September. The Linn County Fair is a three-day event with animal exhibits and carnival games in July. The Christmas Bazaar has over 200 artists in December with handmade toys and treats for the holiday season.On Interstate 5 and the Santiam Highway
East Albany is a car-dependent neighborhood with access to highways and Interstate 5, which borders the neighborhood and connects to cities along the West Coast. East Albany also has bike lanes and public transportation as part of the Albany Transit System (ATS). The Santiam Highway, or Highway 20, divides East Albany and routes west to Pacific Boulevard and Downtown. Corvallis is a nearby town and employment hub about 17 miles west of East Albany. Eugene is roughly 45 miles south on I-5 from the city center, while Salem is 27 miles north. Portland is about 70 miles north with an international airport.
