veneta oregon

I used to live in Monroe Oregon and taught school in Blachley. My, things have changed if Veneta has become expensive!!! Back when I was there the area around Blachley and Monroe was much cheaper (part of why I lived there!). If you are looking in Oregon in general the area between Newport and the Coast is also very nice (Alsea, Siletz). I used to teach in Philomath also - but know the areas that close to Corvallis and OSU have gotten expensive. The Oregon Country Fair is certainly an "event".

There isn't anyplace in the whole Valley that's cheap anymore. You must have lived there a long time ago! My sister and bil live in Philomath, and spent over a year looking for property they could afford. They wanted to get out of town and have an acre or so in the country, but ended up with a manufactured home in town on a town lot -- and can barely afford that. Better than renting, though, I guess.

Wow, I bought my first house in Corvallis in 1975 - small two bedroom close to the college (I was a student). For 16,000! Must be worth a fortune now.
