Locally owned and operated antique shops abound all across the Mid-Willamette Valley. Whether you choose to live in Albany or Corvallis, you'll have a plethora of options to choose from in your search for one-of-a-kind treasures. 

Our real estate agents know that there are plenty of things to love about living in the Mid-Willamette Valley, and one of them is the local stores with unique shopping opportunities that you can only find here!

Let's take a look at a handful of interesting and enjoyable antiquing and thrifting spots:

  • Albany Antique Mall – 145 Southwest Second Avenue, Albany, OR 97322
    Established back in 2009, Albany Antique Mall has been delighting its visitors with two fully packed floors of wonderful finds ever since. With a focus on antiques, collectibles, and vintage clothing, it is divided into nearly 100 specific sections. A large vintage clothing boutique takes up the corner of the second floor. Individual antique dealers are allocated space, so there's always something new to find.

  • Cronies Vintage & Antique Emporium – 223 Second Avenue Southwest, Albany, OR 97321
    Found in a prime location in the historic downtown, Cronies Vintage & Antique Emporium seeks out familiar and unique pieces. You'll find items from around the world as well as mainstays from Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. A second location is found at 221 Second Avenue. Both locations open at 10:30 a.m., and business runs until 5:30 in the evening six days a week (both are closed on Sundays).
