Holley
Neighborhood in Sweet Home, Oregon
Linn County 97386
Pine-lined streets and Calapooia River access
The streets of Holley are lined by towering pine and fir trees, with quiet winding lanes connecting residential streets. Ranch-style homes and bungalows built throughout the mid-to-late 20th century sit on lots ranging from a half-acre to over 20 acres, and many have fenced-in sections for horses, livestock and gardens. Empty lots with between 2 and 10 acres range from $75,000 to $280,000. Homes on around 5 acres or less go for $325,00 to $450,000, while homes with larger lots can reach up to $750,000. “One of the biggest draws to the area is being close to the river,” Sawyer says. “A lot of properties back up to the water. When I was younger, my uncle and grandfather both had river access, so I would swim a lot in the summer.”
