My husband spent much of his childhood in the area. We now live in Central Oregon, but our daughters and grandchildren live in Salem, so I visit there often. It's a wonderful city, in my opinion. Oregon's capital, with lots of recreational, cultural and educational activities available. Politically, Oregon is a very progressive state. Those of us Dems work hard to keep it that way. The house you mention appears to be (by its address) located on the west side of town (the Willamette River is the dividing line), in Polk County, where I used to reside, one of Oregon's most rural counties. Lots of newer homes in mostly upscale neighborhoods. Two bridges cross the river into Salem proper, which make for easy commutes. Couldn't ask for a much more beautiful part of the state than the Willamette Valley in springtime, though I love each and every inch of my home state, so may be a bit prejudiced in my assessment. Glad you found Salem and are exploring the possibility of locating there. I'm guessing you'll like it a lot.
Our state motto is: She Flies with Her Own Wings. Indeed she does!
