Rickreall sits at the easygoing crossroads of OR-22 and 99W, a small community with big perks thanks to its setting in Polk County. Fields of wine grapes roll toward the Eola Hills, while everyday conveniences and jobs are a quick hop to Salem and the county seat of Dallas. The result is a rural-lifestyle feel with true regional access.
Weekends often revolve around the Polk County Fairgrounds & Event Center, home to the annual county fair, livestock shows, holiday bazaars, and concerts. Nature lovers can spot waterfowl and raptors at the nearby Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge, where accessible trails and viewpoints make wildlife watching easy. Wine is part of daily life here: estate tasting rooms such as Left Coast Estate pour estate-grown pinot noir and offer woodland trails, and the locally rooted Eola Hills Wine Cellars hosts bike rides, brunches, and live music.
Families appreciate practical schooling options, with public education provided by neighboring districts, including Central School District 13J and Dallas School District 2. For higher education, Western Oregon University in nearby Monmouth brings cultural programming, athletics, and continuing education; everyday amenities round out in Independence along the Willamette River.
From small-acreage homes to easy commutes and weekend wine country adventures, Rickreall offers a balanced way to put down roots. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional to help you make your move with confidence.
