Why Live in Cascadia
Cascadia, a neighborhood in Sweet Home, features a mix of farmhouses and ranch-style homes built from the 1940s to the early 2000s, with some dating back to the late 19th century. Properties range from half an acre to around 30 acres, with some offering private access to the South Santiam River. The area is known for its lush forests and scenic views of the Cascades, thanks to the Pacific Northwest's rainy climate. Outdoor attractions include Cascadia State Park, which offers about 4 miles of trails, picnic shelters, and campgrounds, and the nearby Rooster Rock Trail, a 4-mile out-and-back hike with expansive mountain views. The Green Peter Reservoir, located 15 miles away, provides opportunities for picnicking, swimming, and boating. For dining and shopping, residents can visit Sweet Home, where options include Into the Brew Coffee House, The Point Restaurant with views of Foster Lake Reservoir, and The Bohemian Club Tavern. Grocery needs are met by Safeway and Thriftway. The Santiam Highway connects Cascadia to Sweet Home, 14 miles west, and Bend, 80 miles southeast. Public transit options include the Linn Shuttle and the Sweet Home Shopper bus. Cascadia is served by the Sweet Home School District, which includes Foster Elementary, Sweet Home Junior High, and Sweet Home High School, all offering a range of extracurricular activities and elective courses.
