Croisan-Illahe
Suburban Neighborhood in Salem, Oregon
Marion County 97302
Established ranch-style homes and mountaintop estates
Croisan-Illahe has multiple sections of homes featuring different styles. Houses near Nelson Park are typically ranch-style or 1970s contemporary homes on tight lots with sidewalks and plenty of towering pines. These usually cost between $400,000 and $600,000. Heading up Croisan Mountain Drive, buyers can find sprawling Craftsman, ranch-style and French Provincial homes. These properties often have expansive views of the valley below, but they sit on relatively small lots that require less maintenance. "That neighborhood is good for somebody who wants a big house and room, but they don't want acreage. In Croisan-Illahe, really anywhere west of Skyline Road, half an acre or a third of an acre is pretty common," says Hagag. Homes on Croisan Mountain typically cost between $800,000 and $1.4 million. Houses near Illahe Hills Country Club range from late 1960s ranch-style homes to early 2000s Craftsmans. Most of them are close together on suburban streets, but properties on Deerfield Drive and El Dorado Loop are more spread out, with tall trees and meticulous landscaping. Homes under 3,000 square feet in this area cost between $500,000 and $850,000. Larger houses cost between $1 million and $1.7 million. There is a severe flood risk in much of the neighborhood, but mostly in undeveloped areas. The community receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Plenty of green space in Croisan-Illahe
Croisan-Illahe's location in the Willamette Valley countryside makes it easy to access nearby recreation. Nelson Park has tennis and basketball courts, a playground and walking paths. Minto-Brown Island Park is a 1,200-acre natural area with an entrance near the neighborhood. This large city park has 29 miles of trails for walking, running or biking. There are loops that can be joined together for 5K or 10K runs. The site also has a 30-acre dog park, fishing access and approximately 300 acres of conservation area home to blue herons, rabbits and cougars.

Supporting students' education at local Salem schools
Schirle Elementary School and Crossler Middle School each serve the area and are about 4 and 5 miles from the neighborhood, respectively. Each school receives a B-minus rating from Niche. Sprague High School is rated a B and is just under a 4-mile drive. The high school serves nearly 1,800 students and has career-focused classes in automotive technology, media production and computer-aided drafting. It is also the center for the Willamette Education Service District's Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program. The program provides students with curriculum support, vocabulary development, sign language support and more.

Teeing off at Salem's first private country club
Illahe Hills Country Club is a private golf course in the neighborhood. The club was founded in the 1960s when Salem only had one golf course—the public Salem Golf Club. Today, Illahe Hills has an 18-hole, par-72 course that has hosted several events, including USGA Championships. The houses in the neighborhood are far enough from the course that it feels like a secluded, natural spot for a round of golf, with scenic views of the surrounding hills and valley. The club also has tennis, pickleball and bocce ball courts. The club's restaurant is open six days a week and serves a seasonal menu focusing on steak and seafood.Daily commutes along River Road
Croisan-Illahe is a car-dependent neighborhood, and River Road is the main route to Salem. Downtown Salem is about 6 miles north of the community via River Road and Liberty Street. Salem Hospital is also about 6 miles from the neighborhood. Viewcrest Road is another option for getting around the city, connecting to Kuebler Boulevard about 3 miles southeast of the neighborhood. Residents can use Kuebler to get to schools, grocery stores and eventually Interstate 5, about 7.5 miles away.Reaping the benefits of Oregon wine country at local restaurants
Despite its location away from the city center, Croisan-Illahe has multiple dining options nearby. Lively Station is an elevated American restaurant with a rustic wood interior. This neighborhood spot serves sandwiches, craft cocktails and local beer and wine. It also has a small bottle shop for drinks to go. About 3 miles south via River Road, Stomp is a tasting room for Croft Vineyards. The winery is housed in a 1940s dance hall on the banks of the Willamette River, offering scenic views from the patio. In addition to wine, the tasting room also serves pizza and small plates. Groceries are available at supermarkets like Fred Meyer and Roth's Fresh Market, each about 5 miles from the neighborhood.
