Everything here radiates from the Valley Football Center and Reser Stadium on Oregon State's southwest campus. Corvallis is compact and walkable, so nearly every place a Beaver needs sits inside a 10-15 minute drive.

A laid-back, friendly stretch south of downtown with rental houses and duplexes, good value and a calm vibe just a short drive from the facility.
Quieter newer subdivisions south and west of campus, a nicer step-up rental with modern finishes and an easy commute to practice.
Leafy, settled hillside with well-kept rental houses and green space, a privacy upgrade for an athlete who wants quiet without leaving town.
