Pringle Creek is a sustainable neighborhood inspired by nature, community, and innovation.
Pringle Creek Community is a neighborhood in Salem, Oregon focused on a commitment to innovation, sustainability and diversity. This community is set among acres of preserved land, with walking trails that connect homes, orchards, community gardens, and local businesses with nature.
Our active urban farm
is the heart of our community.
Our rare “glass houses” are nearly 75 years old and are maintained by our urban farmer and volunteer members. More than two acres of land are set aside just for food production, including areas for community gardening.
Scattered throughout the Pringle Creek neighborhood are over 200 fruit trees — peaches, cherries, pears, apples, and plums — of all different varieties, ripening successively during the growing season.
Live. Shop. Eat.
The original vision of Pringle Creek Community was for a variety of live/work opportunities within the neighborhood to allow for small shops, grocery, cafe, restaurants, and other services within easy walking distance.
This builds a sense of community by supporting local business development, reducing car use, and creating opportuities for social interaction throughout the day.
Prismatic Coffee and Cafe
A rotating seasonal menu, specialty espresso drinks, and delicious pour-over coffee roasted in-house from the highest quality organic beans.
Prismatic Coffee Roasters remodeled the historic Carpenter’s Building to create a wide-open, friendly space to meet friends and enjoy a truly special drink.
Epilogue Kitchen and Cocktails
Shortly after Prismatic Coffee closes for the day, Epilogue Kitchen and Cocktails opens and the vibe turns romantic and moody.
Two-time James Beard Awards semifinalist chef Jonathan Jones offers an a la carte menu (walk-ins welcome) and a tasting menu (reservations required). Don’t miss the opportunity to borrow a book from the Library of Black Excellence.
Root Cellar Market
Located in the historic Root Cellar building, what used to be a storage facility for vegetables and canned goods is in the process of transforming into a sustainable market and gift shop. Offering a curated selection of locally-sourced, eco-friendly products, Root Cellar Market is a destination that celebrates community and sustainability.
When construction is finished, the top floor will be home to a bed and breakfast with two 1930s themed suites.
