Neighborhoods

There is a higher density of Victorian and turn of the century homes here than in any other West Coast City. Very walkable quiet neighborhood and can be reached on foot from here in a half a mile. You can walk anytime of day or night and feel very comfortable and serene.

Albany has a classic small town Oregon historic downtown. Very picturesque with a lot of great food and shops to bop around in. Borders the Willamette River and parks and is about as safe and walkable as it gets. Less than a mile from Studio Hygge. Walk up Takena street and you will find a cemetery that dates back to pioneer days with headstones from the 1850's on the way.

If you drive the backroads there, you will be stunned at the scenic farmlands and the riverscape. In the Fall and Spring the green will make you think you are in technicolor.

About an hour away but a gorgeous drive. You will pass Corvallis, Philomath and rolling hills will lead to the Oregon Coast Range with deep green Sitka Spruce, elk and rivers and twisty roads. The payoff of the Oregon Coast is worth it!
