Albany in a nutshell.... 3 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 15, 2019) The good: nice people, traffic isnt bad...weather is ok.
The bad: Lots of meth addicts. Impossible to get a job. Please take note, jobs require written and spoken ENGLISH, usually a degree, pass a background check, an OREGON driver's license. and you can't get a drivers license ...Read More unless you are a citizen and LEGAL. Lots of people move here thinking they can "start over" from California and end up struggling because they can't do the above. LOTS of law enforcement...so drug dealing/illegal stuff won't go far here. If you have a lot of kids to feed and only one person who can work, you will have a hard time here. However, great place to retire as they have a lot of programs for the elderly. Corvallis is MUCH more expensive and very hard to find work there as well. Read Less

Lock Your Vehicle 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 11, 2018) I'd rather live in Siberia than here. On my last visit my car was broken into and the meth addicts were selling their drugs at Waverly Lake at all hours. Downtown was littered with old sleeping bags, pillows and clothing from homeless people and buildings were boarded up. Look ...Read More ed like Detroit, Michigan. Check out the Yelp reviews for the Budget Inn Motel in Albany and you'll get the idea. Read Less

Leaving My Heart In Albany 4 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 17, 2015) I lived in Albany, Oregon for almost six months back in 2005. I relocated to California from Albany only because my husband had a military transfer that we could not refuse. While living in Albany I pretty much got to check out everything that the city had to offer. Out of all th ...Read More e things in Albany to do I have to say my favorite was spending time at the lake in Waverly Park. It was so peaceful there and the views were like they were straight out of a dream. The best part of the lake was the paddle boats that you could rent if you didn't feel like just floating around the lake. I honestly think I rented a paddle boat at least 30 plus times during my stay in Albany. It was that good!

As I am an outdoor enthusiast, I also enjoyed fishing and camping in Albany. The city surprisingly offered a large amount of spots for me to do these things, so I never really got bored of going to the same place over and over. Anyone who is like me would fall in love with Albany for the exact same reasons I did. Putting aside outdoor activities, I also enjoyed going out to eat quite a bit with my husband. There were tons of different places to choose from, so we tried to always choose a different restaurant every week just to be spontaneous. Sometimes we would find a place we didn't really care for, but 90% of the time we always loved the food and the waitress we got. All in all there is not much bad things I can say about the city, just good things, and the fact that I miss my home in Albany terribly bad. Read Less
