OREGON LIVING

The City of Oregon is truly one of the most livable small cities in Illinois, with an unparalleled high quality of life. A recent community survey reveals the most popular reasons why people have chosen to stay or move to Oregon include our community character, accessibility to nearby recreation, and the price/value of housing.

As the government seat of Ogle County, Oregon has the conveniences and lifestyle of a complete community, as opposed to a bedroom community of a larger city. We are geographically well-positioned to be a day-trip away from widely diverse experiences: Chicago’s downtown, Wisconsin ski resorts, or Mississippi River recreation. The nearby cities of Rockford, Sterling, and DeKalb have large retail shopping districts for the convenience of our residents; yet at the end of the day, one can be here in Oregon strolling quiet neighborhoods, canoeing on the Rock River, visiting friends and families at a school sporting event, or enjoying fine food and wine at a one of our stylish restaurants. Oregon has the comforts and opportunities of a larger city, yet feels a hundred miles away from the rush and crowds of urban life.

 

We encourage you to visit our city website for additional details about what makes us ‘Uniquely Oregon!’
