Top neighborhoods in Salem

  • West Salem

    What it’s like to live in West Salem

    Natural beauty surrounds West Salem renters, where apartments and townhomes often feature unexpected views of the Willamette River or distant mountains. The neighborhood's hillside position across the river from downtown creates a distinct community identity while maintaining quick bridge access to Salem's government employment center. Though winter brings significant rainfall requiring good waterproof gear, the area's elevated position reduces flooding concerns affecting riverside districts. Renters enjoy both Wallace Marine Park's waterfront recreation and the nearby Willamette Valley vineyards creating weekend exploration opportunities without long drives.

    South Central

    What it’s like to live in South Central

    Historic architecture defines this diverse neighborhood where modest homes and small apartment buildings create housing options across multiple price points. The strategic location between downtown employment and Bush's Pasture Park offers both urban amenities and green space within easy walking distance. Though some blocks show varied investment levels, the combination of affordability, central positioning, and upcoming development makes this area increasingly attractive for renters seeking value in Oregon's growing capital city.

    Faye Wright

    What it’s like to live in Faye Wright

    Faye Wright features established homes with larger yards in southern Salem. Rental properties typically include mid-century architecture with more outdoor space than newer developments at similar price points. While the area provides excellent access to both downtown Salem employment and shopping along Commercial Street, some streets lack sidewalks despite the otherwise family-friendly atmosphere. Most suitable for households seeking established neighborhoods with mature landscaping who prioritize practical amenities and reasonable commutes over walkable dining options or contemporary design trends more common in Portland's rapidly evolving neighborhoods.
