One of the top priorities of people searching for a place to live is location. As they say in real estate, “location, location, location.” Even if you love everything about a house, if it’s located in an area that’s too far from your ideal location, you will think twice about buying that dream house. The same goes for busy college students looking for off-campus housing. 

 

If you’re looking for convenient off-campus housing in Corvallis, Oregon, consider the Fillmore Inn. Located a stone’s throw away from Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College, the Fillmore Inn is a great option in an excellent area that’s hard to beat. The Fillmore Inn’s proximity to parks and shopping centers also appeals to busy college students.
