A rural feel in Salem's wine country
Spring Valley is a vast swath of scenic countryside that offers estate-like homes and access to classic Willamette Valley attractions. "It's really great because you get a lot more land out in that area," says Luna Mariah Dietz, team leader at PNW Dream Home brokered by eXp Realty and longtime Salem area resident. "You're really close to a lot of those wineries, so if they like that country setting, that's going to be an area buyers will want to focus on." Located west of Salem, much of Spring Valley is in the Eola-Amity Hills American Viticultural Area (AVA) and is home to over 30 wineries and 100 vineyards. Grapevines and evergreens adorn the rolling hills, while mountains in the distance add to the area's scenery. Though the neighborhood offers a feeling of rustic seclusion, Salem's shopping and dining are just 10 miles away.

Tasting the bounty of Spring Valley
Vineyards and wineries are scattered throughout Spring Valley, offering several spots to enjoy a glass of wine and a meal with friends and family. Bethel Heights Vineyard is one of the oldest in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, planted in 1977. The vineyard offers daily tastings overlooking the vines. Nearby Bryn Mawr Vineyards is a 26-acre site offering sweeping views of the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coastal Range. Meaning "large hill" in Welsh, Bryn Mawr is at one of the highest locations in the valley. Like many Willamette Valley vineyards, this winery benefits from coastal winds blowing through the Van Duzer Corridor gap in the Coastal Range, keeping a cool climate ideal for growing Pinot Noir. Other nearby tasting rooms include Zenith Vineyard, Bjornson Vineyard and Redhawk Vineyard & Winery.
Getting outdoors in the Willamette Valley
Spring Valley has multiple natural recreation sites throughout the neighborhood. The Willamette River Greenway Spring Valley Access is a 177-acre park on the banks of the river. This spot has 5 miles of multi-use trails for mountain biking and hiking. It also has several places along the river suitable for casting a fishing line. Visitors can launch a canoe or kayak from the park and paddle along the river. Maud Williamson State Recreation Site is a 20-acre plot surrounded by farmland. Wildflowers and towering Douglas firs cover this park, which has a picnic shelter, horseshoes and a volleyball court. Orchard Heights Park is a Salem city green space about 6 miles from the heart of the neighborhood. The pickleball courts here are constantly in use, and the park also has baseball fields, basketball courts and a playground.

A quick trip to West Salem shops and restaurants
Because of its rural location, Spring Valley has little commercial activity. Lincoln Store is a small gas station and market at the corner of Wallace Road and Zena Road, serving fried chicken and other grab-and-go food items. For most other shopping and dining, residents will need to drive into West Salem, about 6 miles from the heart of the neighborhood. Checkpoint 221 is a food truck park with several vendors offering Greek, Thai and Mexican food. Xicha Brewing is a local Latine-owned brewery serving traditional Mexican food and beer styles. Groceries are available at Roth's Fresh Markets or Safeway. More shopping options are across the river in downtown Salem. The Salem Center has a Kohl's, Macy's and Regal movie theater.

Ten minutes west of Salem
Spring Valley is a car-dependent neighborhood due to its rural location and the country roads that make up the area. Wallace Road is one of the main north-south routes along the neighborhood's east side near the Willamette River. Zena Road, Brush College Road and Orchard Heights Road are east-west thoroughfares in the area. For those in the neighborhood's southern end, Salem Dallas Highway offers a route into West Salem and across the river to downtown. Downtown Salem is about 7.5 miles from the center of the community, and Salem Hospital is about 8.5 miles away. The Center Street Bridge in Salem is the only route for driving across the river, but residents can also use the Wheatland Ferry just north of the neighborhood. The ferry operates from 5:30 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. seven days a week and costs $3 for cars less than 22 feet.
