Retiring in Brookings Or
- 6/15/2016
My husband and I are planning on moving to Brookings Oregon in 2 to 3 years to retire. We are wondering about what type of health care is available in Brookings, ie - Doctors, Hospitals etc.... We visit at least 2 to 3 times per year, just love it there. We are from Redding, and we are so ready to give up the hot summers for the cool ocean

Brookings is the sort of place that grows on you over time. I came in 2005 to be by the dynamic Southern Oregon Coast to surf, sail, and hike the Redwoods and coastal trails. Being a native son of the State of Jefferson it has always seemed like home. The town seems to be slowly growing and the local businesses are evolving to offer a wider selection of services and entertainment. It’s been a wonderful place to raise a family. We love

Brookings is a great place
- 6/23/2015
I can't disagree more with the 'opinion' that Brookings isn't a great place to live. I came out to Brookings from Michigan as a travel nurse...and fell in love. The town is just the right size. The climate is mild (believe me, compared to Michigan winters, this is paradise). And the scenery is awesome! One of the appeals is that it IS so isolated. If you want malls, museums, & movie theaters, move to a big city. And leave Brookings

Brookings Oregon
- 5/27/2015
My husband and I have been researching brookings and the rest of the oregon coast for quite awhile now. In fact we recently choose brookings to get married...on the beach at sunset may 1st. Perfect weather 74. The people have always been friendly when approached with a smile and online shopping works for me. Not into malls. We currently have our home in central oregon for sale. I can't wait to move. I'm originally from Avila beach california and the laid back atmosphere and climate remind of avila...25 years ago. Beautiful, no sales tax, affordable. We're

Brookings Is No More Expensive Than Most Oregon Or Washington Towns. With A New Fred Meyers, You Can Buy Everything At A Good Price. The Beach,Rivers, And Mountains Are The Best. Great place For Retired People. They Have A New College. There Planning A New Hospital. The Banana Belt. Its Warmer Than Here In Lost Vegas- And I'm Moving To Brookings Next Week- It Don't Get Any

Student/Teacher Ratio 579:1 ???
- 9/4/2010
Is this an error? Does anyone have any children in elementary schools in Brookings? I just found out Brookings existed and am ready to explore this little hidden gem in great detail. However if there are no schools there then where do the children get their education? Does anyone have any experience with the school system here who could give me some first hand info? I appreciate

KIDNEY DIALYSIS
- 7/6/2010
I am planning to move up to Brookings in the near future. The problem is there is no dialysis centers within a 2 hour drive( Eureka, Grants Pass, Coos Bay). I would like to find out how many people from Crescent City to Gold beach require dialysis.I have been told by the centers that there are not enough people for them to require building a center. Iwould think that a center in Brookings would be a perfect place.Maybe more people would move there if there was a

Banana Belt of Oregon
- 7/29/2009
Briefly, Brookings is a great place to live and retire. Not too hot or too cold. Lots of mountains, trees and flowers. Beautiful coastline and beaches. Beautiful rivers and fishing. Safe harbor and boating. Thousands of oceanview properites. I'll bet half the town is retirees from California. Me too. The economy is no longer based arround lumber and fishing, now it's tourism and real estate. But, if you want a mall it's a 2 hour

Brookings Oregon is a great place to live
- 5/28/2008
I moved my family up here from Southern California and will never go back. Where in the country can you buy an Oceanfront home for less than a million dollars that won't be under water in the next 25 years due to sea level rise. The people are friendly, the gas is cheaper, there's much less crime, no sales tax and they pump your gas for you. Brookings is a little piece of Heaven on Earth. Personally I think the air here is great. Take a trip up here, I guarantee you won't regret it and you might even stay like we
