Overview
SW Corvallis is growing and changing. Large vacant areas and opportunities for infill, especially near Oregon State University, make it one of the city’s most active areas for future development. At the same time, much of the neighborhood reflects older development patterns, with limited street connections, car-focused design, and gaps in sidewalks and bike paths.
The SW Corvallis Area Plan creates a vision for connected, livable neighborhoods with a mix of housing, transportation options, and community amenities. The Plan is a response to new state policies on middle housing and the community’s desire for safe, walkable streets and a stronger neighborhood identity.
