Have you always pictured yourself spending time with your family and loved ones in your beautiful, big, green garden that you can arrange as you want, take care of it whenever you want and simply admire at all times? Many Oregon residents, myself included, are backyard farmers. If this is on your list, I’ll help you find the home where your garden can come to life.
Looking at the advantages, most importantly at the quality of water and air, tranquil neighborhood, or safe surroundings, the Southern Willamette Valley is a wonderful place to live in peace with nature.
Many of the houses you’ll see here have eco-friendly and sustainable updates.
Choosing to live in an area that has a more rural feel than urban is more of a matter of lifestyle, but doesn’t mean you have to skimp on amenities. It pays to really understand the neighborhood where you want to buy a home, especially if you don’t already live there (or if you do but don’t own a home yet).
You can change many things in the house itself but, the green space is something to consider as well.
If you’ve just started wondering: how do I know if the neighborhood is really what I want and need, a way to get the right answer is simple. You should conduct thorough research, consult with an expert who is familiar with living in the area, analyze the numbers, and finally, narrow down your options until you have one that sounds like home.
Does your idea of having a garden mean you want to move to a more rural area? The Southern Willamette Valley has many rural nooks and cranny’s that aren’t far from urban resources.
When looking in rural areas consider any dealbreakers that may emerge during the move - if you can think of any, it’s best to give it some more thought and consults with your broker about pros and cons.
Undoubtedly, living in a rural place has many advantages - breathtaking views, easy access to nature, tight-knit communities just to name a few. However, there may also be some inconveniences -- limited services, fewer job options with longer commutes, not as many opportunities to grab takeout when you don’t feel like cooking.
