What it's like
Living in Central Point
Central Point is the valley's convenient choice, with a sweet tooth. Rogue Creamery makes its blue cheese on North Front Street, and in 2019 its Rogue River Blue became the first American cheese named World's Best Cheese at the World Cheese Awards. Ferment & Fire pours house beer, with trivia on Tuesdays.
Every summer the county fair fills the Expo grounds. Toward the Table Rocks, Bigham Farms sells produce and pumpkins in season, and the Lower Table Rock trail is a short drive north. The Bear Creek Greenway, the paved path that starts in Ashland, ends here.
Homes lean newer than most of the valley, with subdivisions built over the last few decades, an older core near downtown, and farmland on the edges.
Before you buy here
The homework
In newer subdivisions, read the HOA rules and fees. Near Bear Creek and Griffin Creek, check the flood zone. On the rural edges, confirm the zoning and whether the home is on city services or a well and septic.
