Woodsy lumber town turned affluent suburb
At the railroad crossing on Lafayette Street, a mural shows a young explorer shining a flashlight through a dark forest. Much like the mural, North Albany is a bright light in a shadowy Pacific woodland. Only a mile north of the historic downtown, North Albany is a mosaic of newer subdivisions and Christmas tree farms. "It's a more affluent part of Albany with nicer houses and larger lots," says Stephanie Spann, an area local and Real Estate Broker at Cadwell Realty Group-Corvallis. "I would call the style of housing 'Pacific Northwest Contemporary,' with wood-accented walls and vaulted ceilings. The wood comes from being in the timber industry, and evergreens are definitely part of the landscape around here."
North Albany, OR consists of many well maintained and family friendly subdivisions.
North Albany is an evergreen suburb starting as a lumber town turned into idyllic living.
