Living in Salem
Salem is a diverse community with well-established neighborhoods, a family-friendly ambiance, and a small-town feel. The commutes are short, the air is pure, and the parks are beautiful. As Oregon’s centrally-located capital city, Salem is 47 miles south of Portland and an hour from the Cascade Mountains and the Oregon coast. Salem lies in the center of the lush Willamette Valley, surrounded by green pastures, fields of flowers, gardens, vegetables, orchards, and vineyards. Several parks are within walking distance from the vibrant shopping district and historic downtown, inviting residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors year-round.
