Salem is our home base.

It’s a great place to live, to get connected to a vibrant community, to raise a family, or to explore the great outdoors. We offer an affordable cost of living, minimal traffic hassles, plentiful outdoor space, and lots of local events and recreation venues. Drive one hour in any direction, and you’ll find even more adventure — the rustic Oregon coast, the Cascade mountains, nightlife in downtown Portland, and PAC-12 collegiate and professional sports.

Our Salem community is a great place to live, work, and play.
