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.

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.
