Things look and feel different in Eastern Oregon, and living in the Grande Ronde Valley, in the heart of Union County, is more unique still—offering the perfect mix of modern and rustic—a lifestyle sought by many, but had by few.
The Grande Ronde Valley, whose name means “great circle” is completely enclosed by mountains (Eastern Oregon’s beautiful Blue
Mountains), a unique feature shared by few places in the United States. This characteristic differentiates the Grande Ronde Valley from all other areas in the region.
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Mountains on the South and West of the Grande Ronde Valley lies the city of La Grande—a vision of both the old west and of contemporary living. It is in this setting that THE RIDGE offers you its unique location and living experience, taking advantage of the magnificent elevated view of the Grande Ronde Valley and the inspiring Mt. Emily to the north.
With La Grande's immediate access to I-84, THE RIDGE is perfectly situated in the region for access to the great amenities, attractions, and cultural offerings of Eastern Oregon. Among these is the famous and historic Hot Lake Springs—the perfect spot for a quick out-of town getaway, not more than 10 minutes from THE RIDGE. Other nearby attractions include the Elgin Opera House, the Eagle Cap Excursion Train, Gilstrap Brothers Winery, Anthony Lakes Ski Resort, Hells Canyon Recreation Area, and the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
THE RIDGE itself has much to offer. Its location in La Grande is spectacular—on the southern foothills overlooking the valley. Phase I of development is complete, offering turn-key building opportunities in this well-situated community. Utilities are in place and ready for hookup. THE RIDGE holds the distinction as being the only residential community in La Grande that offers its residents their own lake—Spence Lake.
While the lake and the immediate area around it not be fully developed until completion of Phase V, access is available now, and you can enjoy this unique feature of the community. Build in THE RIDGE and enjoy Eastern Oregon and the old and new West as few can. |
