KLAMATH FALLS - A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE AND DO BUSINESS.

Klamath Falls is a medium sized city serving about 60,000 people, so it serves a good base of people and businesses.  It has all the basic services such as a good sized state of the art hospital, plus numerous big chains like Home Depot, WalMart, etc. . . .  It’s small enough to act like a small town in friendliness and safety, so it’s a great place to raise a family, but it has lots of businesses so shopping is easy and convenient.  It has a junior college - Klamath Community College and a four year college - Oregon Institue of Technology.  Because the city is small, outdoor lovers can live in the country; yet, be only minutes from downtown. Birds, wildlife, and scenic beauty are abundant.

There are great parks of which Moore Park is our favorite.  It’s a huge park with all kinds of hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, etc. . .
