Alderbrook Neighborhood

The Alderbrook Neighborhood is nestled in off Commercial Street in South Salem Oregon. This neighborhood is one of those neighborhoods that you won’t know exists by just driving by it.  The name of the main street in the neighborhood says it all, Welcome Way. Images from a storybook evolve from there with street names like Snow White Way and Stagecoach. Alderbrook has a couple of smaller subdivisions in its bounds, including The Woods and The Palisades. Towering trees create a canopy blending nature and living space, but not all of the trees are large forest-style fir trees.  The earliest phase has maples and oaks similar to what you would find in Candalaria and Laurel Springs.

Homes in this neighborhood are larger as are the lots. It has some large one-story homes which are popular with homeowners as people can live in them for a very long time.  When they come up for sale, they are often dated as someone has generally lived in the home for 20-50 years.  With the good South Salem schools, close to Commercial street for dining, entertainment, and groceries, real estate doesn’t come up for sale very often in the neighborhood.  Residents buy and then stay for long periods of time, giving this neighborhood a lot of stability.

The Courtside Community is a set of townhomes in the neighborhood and offers a lower-priced option for living in the area.  Homes have small private yards with nicely maintained greenspace lots in the community.  They don’t come up for sale often and the HOA dues have been reasonable in the past for this community.
