    For the most part, there are no "bad" parts of Salem, it's a pretty little city. But I would say the less prosperous neighborhoods are in North Salem. Definitely stay away from Portland Road, that's probably the seediest area of town. You do get more minorities in that area of the city e.g. "Little Mexico". South Salem and West Salem are probably the best areas to live in, or housing around Willamette University toward downtown is decent too.

    I'm wondering why you're thinking of moving to Salem in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I like the place, I grew up there, but it's definitely not a city you'd want to live in if you're single and in your 20's. It's more of a family town and older/middle age adults.

    Good luck!

    By the way, Salem is not "ghetto", far from it. Some areas like I said aren't great like near Portland Road and North Salem, but my parents live in a neighborhood where they can leave their doors unlocked and they've never been robbed.

    Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed and organic. Learn here https://tr.im/kAn5E

    Whether you have or not, what you probably don't realize is that it’s the fastest growing “diet” in the world right now. From celebrities, chefs, elite athletes. Even fitness experts is eager to try it or adopt it.

    And for good reason, because no other diet or eating plan provides so many benefits so fast.

    I stay in Washington, not Oregon, yet i'm somewhat particular the greater south you pass the less rain you have. yet permit me basically say this; why do human beings basically approximately constantly say rain is crappy climate? i think of that's surely suited. that's the reason i like the sea maximum suitable interior the NW, by way of rain and mist and fog. surely breathtaking.
