Independence and Monmouth

February 11, 2016 by Tammy DeLeon

Independence

is full of old town charm with a population of just over 8,500.  The historic down town sits alongside the Willamette River.

You will find antique stores, galleries, and one of kind shops and restaurants as you stroll the historic streets.

From the 1890s to the 1940s, Independence was known as the Hop Capitol of the World. You can find Rogue Ales and Spirits just on the out skirts of town where they grow their hops and brew their beer.  Great place to spend a summer afternoon.

There is a beautiful downtown park and amphitheater that overlook the river. Every summer the River Rhythms Series bring the community together for movies, music and comedy.

Independence lives up to its name.  Western Day is the Willamette Valleys most popular Fourth of July Celebration.  The four-day celebration touts a parade, carnival, car show, entertainers and two nights of amazing fireworks.

Monmouth

Monmouth is a small neighboring town to Independence with a population of about 10,000.  They share elementary, middle and high schools located in Independence.  Monmouth is a college town, home of Western Oregon University. WOU is known for it’s teaching and criminal justice academia.

Monmouth is known for being the last dry town in Oregon until 2002.  Most of Monmouth is easily accessible on foot. Monmouth hosts Music in the Park in the summer.  You will find good restaurants, wine bar, and local shops to cruise through.

Monmouth is a 20-minute drive to either Salem or Corvallis.  A short hour and half drive will get you to the coast or to the big city life of Portland.

About Tammy DeLeon

I have lived in Corvallis for 30 years and raised my 3 boys here. I am married to a retired veteran, who treats me like a queen.
We love being close to the coast, the mountains and the big city life of Portland. We love the outdoors and enjoy hiking and camping with our family and friends.
My combined 15 years of building new construction homes and being a real estate professional, along with being a long-time business owner gives me the personal and professional skills to confidently guide my clients through each transaction.
The process of buying or selling a house can seem overwhelming and intimidating. It is my goal to simplify the process through exceptional communication, education and walking with you from finding a lender to handing over the keys to your new home.
I specialize in helping veterans buy homes with no down payment, retirees sell and downsize and help buyers go from renting to owning.
