Quiet streets and a rural atmosphere in Sheridan

The South Yamhill River winds through the center of Sheridan, a small Oregon town with a history steeped in agriculture and logging. The area’s fertile soil makes it an ideal region for farming, with hundreds of acres of grain farmland just south of town and over a dozen wineries all close by. Less than 30 miles from Salem, the town provides access to Highway 18 and Oregon Route 22, with proximity to oceanfront cities and the scenic recreation areas of northern Oregon. “A lot of people that move to Sheridan come here to get away from the traffic and activity of the larger cities,” says Bobbie Jager, a local real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Professional Group. “We’re 30 minutes from the beach, Salem and McMinnville. It’s rural and we don’t have a lot going on, but that’s what people like about living here.”
