Salishan

Centered in South Salem, 97302 blends leafy, established neighborhoods like Fairmount Hill, Candalaria, and Morningside with easy access to downtown. Expect a classic Willamette Valley climate—mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers—and abundant green space at Minto-Brown Island Park (miles of trails and an off-leash area) and Bush’s Pasture Park with its rose garden and Bush Barn Art Center. The area feels friendly and pet welcoming, with quiet streets and weekend joggers, cyclists, and strollers. Daily needs are simple along Commercial St SE—Trader Joe’s, Fred Meyer, and LifeSource Natural Foods—plus coffee at The French Press, local pours at Santiam Brewing, and a mix of casual-to-upscale dining. Commuters benefit from quick links to I-5 via Mission St and Hwy 22, and the Minto Island bridge makes biking into the core easy. According to Zillow’s recent market trends, the median asking rent sits around the mid-$1,700s, with most listings over the past few months ranging roughly from the low $1,300s to mid-$2,400s.
