Bike to historic downtown Albany and watch hot air balloons float overhead
Living in Periwinkle has its perks. The Periwinkle Creek Bike Path takes cyclists along a 2-mile scenic route through two city parks to the Heritage Mall and the Monteith Historic District. From there, residents revisit the 19th-century architecture as they head toward the trendy shops of downtown Albany. At the Northwest Art & Air Festival, over 40,000 people gather at Timber Linn Memorial Park to watch dozens of hot air balloons float through the sky, drifting peacefully above Periwinkle. “I always get really excited when I see them in the air,” says Amy Bennett, Aquatics Coordinator at the Albany Community Pool. “I look forward to that weekend because you can see them flying on Interstate 5 heading toward the fairground. It’s a pretty cool sight to see.”
From big shopping plazas to small local shops and galleries, Periwinkle, OR has it all.
Historic Albany near Periwinkle Park is the place to explore the town's museums and history.

Pine trees shade modern Prairie homes and one-story Craftsmans
Pine needles dust the sidewalks and streets in Periwinkle. Low yards and bushes gardens in red mulch are confined by miniature stone walls, giving homes an inviting exterior. Backyards remain private by the cover of cedar wooden fences. New traditional-style homes, modern Prairie homes and one-story Craftsman dwellings sit on small lots, some of which are within walking distance of major retail centers and recreational spaces. Manufactured homes on well-landscaped lots are available in Shorewood Estates, Columbus Greens or Edgewood Mobile Estates. "Most are single-family, entry-level homes," says Kyler Gulaskey, who has over 15 years of experience as a Realtor and Broker at eXp Realty in Salem. "They're good first homes for people, and they’re affordable." Home prices range from $350,000 to $750,000. A three-bedroom Craftsman can sell for between $350,000 and $500,000, while a two-story home with four bedrooms can be listed for around $400,000 to $650,000. Occasional newer builds with six bedrooms or duplex buildings with multiple units can fall around $900,000.
