White City takes up a good part of what is called the Agate Desert, which is not actually a desert at all. Apparently the people who named it didn't understand what a desert was! The Agate Desert is actually a grassy prairie with a large number of natural vernal pools in Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley. Built on the site of a WWII military base, White City is now part of the greater Medford area.

This part of the Beaver State is famous for its pears, wild rivers and hot summers. It's an expansive valley between the Siskiyou Mountains to the south and the foothills near Gold Hill, it's a prime country for those who love the outdoors. White City first grew up almost as an extension of Medford and has come into its own as a Rogue Valley town. Where city meets country and valley meets mountain, the former base and POW camp is home to about 8,000 people.

Moving to White City

Like much of the state of Oregon, more people are moving in to the area than are moving out. The number of available rentals traditionally is below the national average, and sometimes the search might take a little longer. Still, with a little planning, it's not that hard to find the perfect apartment rentals in White City. On the edges of town you can even find properties like three- bedroom houses for rent that include large lots where horses are allowed. Just make a plan that gets you started as soon as you know you are moving. Being proactive can help you find several places to choose from, instead of having to settle with what's open at the last minute. Be prepared to have to provide an adequate credit report and pay first, last and security deposit before moving in.

Neighborhoods in White City

While there are few neighborhoods that are distinctly defined, there are areas where you will find different options. If you are looking for studio apartments for rent, you will want to search near Crater Lake Highway (Hwy 52). For a more rural home on some land, look to the east along Highway 140, which is also called Lake of the Woods Highway. The middle part of town is a good place if you are looking to secure a lease on a duplex for rent.

Living in White City

The prairie that is called the Agate Desert is really a grassland in the flatter, drier part of the valley that receives a lot less rain than the surrounding hills and mountains. Those forested areas represent myriad recreational opportunities for people living here. From rafting on the world famous Rogue River to exploring the unique wonders of Crater Lake, there's more than enough to keep you busy.

Of course, you want some city diversions too, right? Nearby Medford has a big variety of restaurants for a small city. On the other end of the Rogue Valley lies Ashland, a charming community that is home to the respected and highly attended Oregon Shakespeare Festival, one of the most highly regarded in the world. Convenient to area jobs and leisure, White City is a good place to start your search.
