What should I know about moving to Corvallis?
Corvallis is a city of about 60,000 in Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley, home to Oregon State University, with the coast about an hour west. Marty Fulford moved here in 2012, has been licensed since 2013, and helps people choose a neighborhood before they buy, then represents them when they do.
Start with the map
Corvallis splits north and south at Harrison Boulevard and east and west at Highway 99W. Before we look at a single house, I sit down with new clients over a paper map and a red pen and walk the whole town, north to south.
The neighborhood guide has that tour, area by area: what each part of town is like, how it’s laid out, and where to start looking.
