Independence, Oregon, is a town so steeped in history that 30 of its oldest square blocks form the Independence Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A suburb of nearby Salem, Oregon, Independence is home to about 8,500 residents. It was founded by honest-to-goodness pioneers (you know, the ones you killed with dysentery on the _Oregon Trail _on your elementary school's Apple IIe). Elvin A. Thorp founded a town called Thorp's Town of Independence in 1845. Two years later, Henry Hill founded Henry Hill's Town of Independence. Someone wised up to this nomenclatural inefficiency and incorporated both areas as Independence. As late as the 1950s, Independence's economy was largely based on its position as a shipping port on the Willamette (that's Wi-LAM-it) River, a hub for both rail and boat for lumber and agricultural products. These days, Independence is a thriving community along with its neighbor and twin Monmouth. And since progress took a bit of a holiday from Independence, its great historic core was saved from modernity's bulldozer approach to city redevelopment in the 1950s and '60s. See more
Looking for 1 bedroom apartments in Independence offers a variety of choices and price points. 1 bedroom apartments allow more privacy than living with a roommate, and gives you more flexibility to find the perfect space for yourself or with a significant other.
There are a few things to consider when touring 1 bedroom apartments, including the square footage and layout. In some cities, small 1 bedroom apartments may cost nearly the same as a studio apartment. Decide whether cost, amenities, or location are the most important to help guide your apartment search.
If cost is a factor while searching for 1 bedroom apartments in Independence, consider which floor you will live on. The bottom floor is often cheaper than top floor units, or there may be a unit with undesirable views or with an outdated kitchen that rents for less.
Remember to come prepared during your apartment hunt with pay stubs, a letter of employment or recommendation, identification, and a checkbook to act quickly. The best 1 bedroom apartments require fast action, so come ready to sign.
