I used to live near Eugene, OR. Albany is a relatively small city, so if you're looking for a quiet, placid life, it's the place for you.
The main industry there is a pulp mill. You can drive right by it on I-5.

Have a good time! Welcome to west central Oregon!

Personally, I would choose Eugene over Albany, but that's just me.
I lived halfway between the two for over 20 years, and since I was in same county as Albany, spent a lot of time there, also attended a community college there.
As small towns go, it's not too bad. Lacks a bit on shopping, but has all the basics, just no big mall or anything (has a small one that hardly earns the name). Have heard good things about the schools. And it has a number of really nice parks. Doesn't have much in the way of activities, comparatively anyway, but if you don't mind driving to Eugene or Portland for things, or don't care, then it's okay.
Honestly, I think it's a "ho-hum" town ... lots of better picks, unless you have a great job there or something.

If I were you, i might want to devise a visit to the islands and verify it out for your self. it is amazingly severe priced to stay there notwithstanding it does have the solid climate and sparkling environment. Oregon and Washington are sparkling states too and a lot less severe priced notwithstanding it rains the overall public of the year yet are also geared to a sparkling ecosystem. do a touch extra analyze, yet somewhat travelling the realm you want to flow to can be a concepts extra constructive so that you've a concept of whats there so a concepts as jobs, housing, and so on. also, verify the unemployment expenditures there too. travelling the realm might want to furnish you with extra constructive perception and to journey the islands is functional besides.
