Home › Portland & Salem › Eden Gleann
The newest 55+ construction in the Salem corridor. A small, 56-home build-out near downtown Dallas, Oregon, with brand-new single-level homes, granite-and-tile finishes, and an HOA that handles front and back landscaping — the choice for buyers who want new, not resale.
Eden Gleann fills the one gap the rest of this market leaves open: new construction. Where Summerfield, King City, and Woodburn are largely resale stock from the 1960s through 1990s, Eden Gleann is a current build-out of 56 single-family homes near historic downtown Dallas. Floor plans run roughly 1,404 to 1,646 square feet with up to three bedrooms, three baths, and two-car garages. Finishes reflect the new-build positioning — central islands, granite counters, slow-close cabinets with pull-outs, large pantries, tiled walk-in showers with glass enclosures, vinyl plank flooring, and covered patios. Pricing generally lands in the $400Ks to low $500Ks.
The HOA fee runs about $133 to $150 per month and covers both front and backyard landscaping — the same lock-and-leave benefit as neighboring Ceres Gleann, at a community that's still being built. Because it's new construction, buyers get the predictable advantages: modern systems under warranty, no deferred-maintenance surprises, and the ability to choose finishes on available inventory. The trade-off versus a resale home is the new-build premium and the smaller resale comp history in such a young, small community.

New construction and Measure 50 interact in a way buyers miss. Oregon's 3% assessed-value cap is most valuable on older homes that have built up years of compression. A brand-new home like Eden Gleann starts with its Maximum Assessed Value set close to current market value, so there's little built-in gap on day one — your initial tax bill will track closer to the home's real value than an older Summerfield resale would. The 3% cap still protects you going forward; you just don't inherit decades of compression. We explain the mechanics on the Measure 50 guide.
Eden Gleann sits minutes from historic downtown Dallas, with its antique stores, boutiques, coffee bars, and eateries, plus everyday conveniences at Ellendale Plaza and Main Street Plaza. The Dallas Aquatics Center, pickleball, multiple nearby golf courses, and the Delbert Hunter Arboretum are close by. Salem is about 15 minutes east; Portland roughly an hour north; Oregon wine country a short drive away.
We'll compare Eden Gleann's new-construction math against a resale at Ceres Gleann or Salemtowne — including the Measure 50 difference.
