City of Corvallis

One of the most beautiful areas along the Pacific coast in the United States is the entire state of Oregon. Luckily, I had a chance to make a few stops throughout the state, a few years ago and I was able to come across the great city of Corvallis. I loved the time I spent in that town more than any other place I visited. Here a few reasons why I enjoyed the town so much:

Academically, the state of Oregon is well known for the University of Oregon, which consistently has a powerful football program with funky uniforms. However, Oregon State University is known as one of the top universities in the United States, and is just a short drive down from Corvallis. All the students there have a great passion and understanding of the environment, and actively recruit their community to do their part to save the planet.

Because the area is populated with thousands of college aged students, there are always things to do and places to go out to. Going off of this, USA Today ranks Corvallis as one of the top places to live for both young adults and families. Nightclubs, bars and late eateries are all over the downtown area, but there are also restaurants, parks and great schools throughout the area, truly making it an excellent place for any age.

If you're ever considering getting up and moving to someplace new, Corvallis might be a great spot. Take a look at homes for sale in Corvallis Oregon to see if there's anything that fits your fancy.
