Salem Oregon homes in Candalaria

Home to one of Salem’s coffee house gems, French Press, the Candalaria neighborhood is located solidly in the middle of south Salem. Just south of Fairmount Hills, this neighborhood was developed in the 1950-1970 range so for home buyers looking for a mid-century modern home, Candalaria is one of the few neighborhoods in Salem where they can be found. Modern influences can be seen in many of the homes in the area and often a wall of windows was created to highlight the amazing views. Not all homes have views but many have spectacular views of the Coastal Range.

Located on the hills, lots tend to have some slope, but you can sometimes find homes with flat lots here. This is a highly stable neighborhood where residents live for a long time so often updating is often needed when homes come up for sale. This is one of the few areas in Salem where it is common for homes to have basements.. As such homes tend to be much larger here than in other areas of Salem, for the same time period.

The local elementary school, Candalaria is one of two schools in the Salem-Keizer school district that offers a full day kindergarten option.
