Community Information

Going home would have a special significance if you lived in Independence. Like going back to simpler times, when you could walk down main street and know the shopkeepers, appreciate each of the brick turn-of century structures and recognize each building’s architectural eccentricities. Any day you could stop at a picturesque laid-back café, enjoy a mug of coffee, sit a while and watch the world and the uncomplicated daily life in a small town unfold before you.

Your friends in Beaverton and co-workers in Salem (Oregon’s capital city is only 10 miles away from Independence) probably live an ordered, predictable life. You, on the other hand, have an opportunity to live a bit unconventionally. In a smaller, caring, friendly community whose “quality of life” roots go back to those early Missourians who moved here in the mid-1800’s. 

What’s special about living in Independence is accentuated by builder Quail Homes, that has captured industry awards and acclaim for quality of construction, concern for detail, and for aesthetics and charm. You see and feel that commitment as you visit and tour a Quail home.

The homes have a distinctive “village” feel, with wonderful broad overhangs, cedar shake accents, rich columns and warm, inviting colors. Inside you have emphasis where larger luxury homes have it: in the kitchen, in the living areas and yes, in the master suite.
