Homes in Hayesville

Hayesville sits on the northern edge of Salem, just about as far north as you can go while still being inside city limits. Bordered by I-5 to the west and Cordon Road to the east, this neighborhood offers fast access for commuters, especially those working in Keizer, Woodburn, or Portland.

What makes Hayesville appealing:

  • Varied housing types: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and manufactured home parks

  • Affordable prices: most homes range from $350,000–$500,000
