We moved to Prineville from La Pine Oregon. Prineville is a smaller town of about 9k but has a huge amount of things that often go unnoticed. The beauty that surrounds this town is incredible. From the majestic mountains of the cascades to the west like, The three Sisters, Broken Top, Batchelor, Black Butte, Mt Washington, 3 Finger Jack and more..... We have several water areas that are a sportsman's dream, Ochoco reservoir, Crooked River, Prineville Resevoir, and just a short drive are more lakes and rivers... We are at the opening of the Ochoco Mountains... and we have multiple golf courses here and many a short drive away.... Bowling alley, pool, parks everywhere, fairgrounds that are always bringing in great events including rodeos and horse races... Not just a couple weekend through the summer, but all year... New businesses are building in several spots, a new hospital, a new school, Apple, Facebook and more are moving here or already have... This is a conservative town that the history is incredible, The bloodshed over the years for the town has been like few others. Rail Road, Indian wars, cattle rancher wars, sheep ranchers, and many more... We moved our radio station here we own "Studio3fm.com" Internet is much better then bend, faster, cheaper, and more reliable through PrineTime. This town is not all glorious, like any town, it has it's issues, drugs and theft are the bigger ones. However, The Crook County Sheriff's office, Prineville Police, CODE, and Oregon State Police have been cleaning things up big time. You may have the ba humbugs, but hey, I have been around a long time, lived in a lot of areas, this town is worth a good hard look at if you are looking at moving here... Schools need the most improving, but new blood would help!!!
