Grants Pass, Oregon

Jun 13, 2008 15:54

My husband and I have decided to move to Grants Pass, Oregon, and some of the reasons are below:

-we love the outdoors
-want to live in Southern Oregon
-live about an hour from the beach
-live in a small (but not too small) town
-live close to a larger town for more job opportunities (Medford, 20 min. drive apparently)

What do you think of Grants Pass?

I am glad you are excited. :)

I have lived in Eugene most of my life but I can't say as I have any opinion at all about Grants Pass... except I think they get the warmer weather...

We'll be checking out Eugene too in August. I've heard a lot of good things about the town. We're starting off in Grants Pass and may end up settling in another town after a couple of years, but we'll see.

Have a good one~

I hope you enjoy Grants Pass. I bet the weather will be really nice when you arrive.

What a nice response! Thank you very much.

Personally I find the mountains around Grants Pass to make the city a bit too claustraphobic for me. I lived very happily for a year in the Medford area, and would be willing to move back there.

If you are also very into the outdoors, the Bend area is very nice, but it is not close to the coast.

Thanks! I might get a job in Medford and commute. I do hear Medford is nice.

Oregon is full. Please enjoy your visit, but remember to leave when you're done.

"Also keep in mind that the pacific northwest is full: Enjoy your stay, but remember to leave when you're done. And take back your old neighbor that forgot to leave after coming here a few years ago: They won't stop bitching about the fact we actually have weather and complaining how everything isn't paved over like the shithole they forgot to go back to and fix. Not quite understanding the whole "Fix your own damn problems," "When in Rome" and "If you want X, you know where to find it" concepts ( ... )
