Railroad neighborhood with bike trails and a shopping mall
Next to an outlet center encased by a retail district, Jackson Hill is a rustic bike-friendly neighborhood a mile south of downtown Albany. The Albany-Lebanon Railroad ran lumber from San Francisco to Portland in the 1800s. While Albany is no longer a capital for the timber industry, locomotives still trundle through Jackson Hill to this day. On the edge of Jackson Hill, stonemasons built historic Albany Station as the country’s westernmost Amtrak depot. “Albany was built around the railroad,” says Stephanie Spann, a real estate broker with Cadwell Realty Group-Corvallis. “There’s still a historic station with an Amtrak that goes through it.”
