1. Salem is a Great Place to Live
Salem was named #61 out of the 2019 100 Best Places to Live list published by Livability.com. According to Livability.com, Salem has housing that is “mindbogglingly affordable for a city that ranks so high on amenities. While the rest of Oregon has seen skyrocketing housing prices, Salem has remained a welcoming and accessible city for young families.” In addition to affordable housing, Salem has many different museums, theaters, events, and festivals.

If you like parks, Salem is the best place for you to build your new custom dream home. The city has 46 parks!

3. You Want to Drink Right Out of the Tap
The water quality in Salem, Oregon is out of this world.

Gone are the days of refrigerators full of filtered water when you build your dream home in Salem.
4. You Love Napoleon Dynamite
Did you know that Napoleon Dynamite star, Jon Heder, is from Salem? The well-known actor and his family moved to Salem, Oregon when he was two years old. The star’s breakout role as nerdy Napoleon Dynamite put him on the map in Hollywood. Napoleon Dynamite was filmed in Idaho. Heder met his wife while they were both students at Brigham Young University, and they live in Santa Clarita, California with their four children.
