Much more than a college town, Corvallis is a beautiful city with plenty to offer.

Bicycle-Friendly Parks Tree City Outdoors OSU University College Town

Historic architecture, bicyclists, and towering trees come together to make Corvallis, Oregon a fascinating and exciting city. Dating back to 1845, the city is best known as the home of Oregon State University, but Corvallis is much more than a college town. With nearly 50 parks, Corvallis is a Tree City USA, and the League of American Bicyclists rate Corvallis as gold -- 12 percent of residents ride a bicycle to school or work every day.

Oregon State University is a major draw to the city. This highly-respected university is a land-, sea-, space-, and sun-grant institution and is one of just 73 land-grant universities in the country. OSU was established in 1868, and residents of Corvallis can cheer on the OSU Beavers at Reser Stadium (football), Goss Stadium (basketball), and Gill Stadium (baseball).

Situated in the Willamette Valley and located along the Willamette River, an apartment in Corvallis will provide easy access to all kinds of outdoor activities, including hiking, off-roading, birding, kayaking, and fishing. Residents can also tour the many wineries in Corvallis, most of which are family-owned and offer tasting rooms and picnic areas.
