Millersburg offers suburban living near growing manufacturing industry
Millersburg, a small community on the northern outskirts of Albany, is welcoming a significant new resident. The Ball Corporation, the largest aluminum can manufacturer in the world, will be moving into the city and opening more than 100 jobs, projected for mid-2026. Other manufacturing plants in Millersburg are conveniently located along Interstate 5, and the community was previously home to a significant paper mill that closed in 2009. Subdivisions north of the industrial corridor have easy access to jobs in Millersburg and Albany while retaining a peaceful sense of life. “It is a ZIP code of Albany, but it has that rural feel,” says Laura Gillott, a Realtor with over 30 years of experience and a principal broker with Keller Williams Realty Mid-Willamette. “It’s mostly detached houses with good-sized lots surrounded by farm ground.”
Millersburg’s section of Interstate 5 is lined with industrial manufacturing sites.
With seamless access to nearby cities, Millersburg offers residents the perfect balance, peaceful living and convenience just minutes away.

Contemporary Craftsman homes with large lots and extra parking
Carefully placed shrubbery and the occasional flower planting decorate the front lawns of New Traditional homes built after the turn of the 21st century. Many feature nostalgic Craftsman details, and prices range from $460,000 to $840,000. Lots in Millersburg go up to a third of an acre in size, with shaded patios and room for gardens and storage sheds in the back. “The other nice thing is that they have nice-sized lots,” Gillott says. “There’s more room for RVs, ATVs and trailers.” Street-parked cars are seldom seen in residential areas, as most homes have attached garages as well as extra parking space.
The CAP Index Crime Score in Millersburg is 2 out of 10; compared to the national average of 4.
Residential lots in Millersburg are larger with room for gardens and room to store even RV's, letting homeowners live large.
Craftsman inspired homes are common throughout Millersburg with front porches allowing residents to take in the day.

Community parks and a wetland that treats water for the Willamette
Shade from expansive, leafy trees falls on picnic tables in Millersburg City Park, where there’s more seating under a massive wooden structure. Situated amidst the subdivisions in northern Millersburg, the green space offers basketball hoops, baseball diamonds, a sand volleyball court and tennis courts. To the south, along the Willamette River, the Talking Water Gardens is an engineered wetland habitat that mimics nature’s own cleansing and cooling processes to return safely treated water to the river. A collaboration between Millersburg, Albany and a metals manufacturer, the wetland promotes native vegetation, supports riparian wildlife and helps keep the river healthy. More than 2 miles of walking trails lead to water that tumbles over rocks and algae-coated pools.
The bright green algae covered marsh is a great sight at Talking Water Gardens in Albany, OR.
Millersburg City Park is a favorite spot for a stroll for those residing in Millersburg.

“The Purple People Feeder,” and pool at Humpty’s Dump Bar and Grill
Oregon Barbecue Company, stationed in the southeast, industrial section of the community, started as a competitive barbecue team before it evolved into a violet drive-thru shack. Nicknamed the “Purple People Feeder,” the eatery specializes in barbecue chicken, pulled pork and brisket by the pound, and sides include fourth-generation, homemade potato salad, buttered corn and cowboy chicken chili. Farther north, Humpty’s Dump Bar & Grill has pool tables illuminated by various neon lights and a patio with foosball. Casual American fare, like burgers and crispy chicken tenders, is on the menu. WinCo Foods and Costco Wholesale are nearby.
Hear the crack of pool and the ambiance of Millersburg locals favorite bar, Humpty Dumpty.

Interstate 5 connects Millersburg to major Oregon cities and airports
Millersburg is located along the west side of Interstate 5, which connects most of the major cities in Oregon. Drivers can take the interstate toward downtown Albany, which is less than 10 miles away, or to Salem and Portland in the north. The Portland International Airport is roughly 80 miles away via interstate, while the Eugene Airport, about 55 miles from Millersburg, offers regional flights across the West.
While there’s no public transit service directly from Millersburg, travelers can catch the Linn-Benton Loop or Albany Transit System buses in downtown Albany. The Coast to Valley Express route picks passengers up near Albany’s Amtrak train station and takes them to the coastal town of Newport.
