Review of Brookings, Oregon


There is nothing here for you (aka: here me out)
Star Rating - 7/25/2019
Okay look. The cost of living in Brookings is absolutely ridiculous. $1000+ for two bedrooms, and lack of utilities. It's because of sights like this that make Brookings seem livable. It's not. Unless you like going to the beach every day or hiking or fishing, that's cool. But basically unless you have a three digit salary, you are not going to find a place to live comfortably, let alone at all. It's not a good place to raise your children. I grew up here. Everyone smokes pot (which isn't bad, depending on what you're looking for), there's a ton of theft and there are NO jobs around here. So if you want to work fast food be my guest because that's about all your options are. The tourists are savages and there's a homeless population like no other. Go somewhere else. Trust me, you'll be doing yourself a favor. Gold Beach/ Port Orford, and Crescent City too. Unless you're rich and retired there is nothing here for you. Do not fall into the trap. Do not allow your children to be stuck in the school district that is Brookings Harbor School District. Save yourself.
Sincerely,
An annoyed Brookings Resident
