The American dream in Albany
A new day dawns in Sunrise, a suburban neighborhood centered around its namesake park, 2 miles south of Downtown Albany, with modest homes on well-landscaped lots to an outlet mall and flourishing city parks. “Albany’s diversity appeals to people who want good schools, nice parks and community support,” says Jill Schuster, who has lived in the area for nearly 20 years as principal broker at Triple Oaks Realty-Corvallis. “For many people, a ranch-style home on a quarter-acre lot is the American dream, and Albany is a great city to live that dream.”
