South Linn County

Linn County’s economy is based primarily on the wood products industry, agriculture, and manufacturing. This area boasts a mild four season climate, which means that outdoor recreation can be enjoyed year round—and thanks to its central location, residents are only an hour or two from the Oregon Coast, the Central High Desert, the fertile Rogue River Valley, and downtown Portland. Finding land to love in Albany, Brownsville, Sweet Home, and Halsey is easy. The communities are small, welcoming, and offer a lower cost of living than the surrounding areas that are more populated. Living in Linn County is having the best of both worlds—you have the privacy and privilege of natural beauty and space, with the close proximity to the diverse microclimates, recreation, and culture offered by the entirety of Oregon. If you’re looking to build in Oregon, Linn County should be on your must-see list!
