SISTERS OREGON REAL ESTATE
A resort
community with a vibrant and friendly manner, Sisters, Oregon is
the quintessential small town surrounded by natural beauty.
Originally named Three Sisters for the three Cascade peaks that
grace its skyline (Faith, Hope and Charity), its name was
shortened to Sisters in the late 19th century. It
was officially incorporated in 1946.
For over
half a century, residents of Sisters relied heavily on logging
as the main means of economic prosperity. In the early 1970s,
after the last lumber mill had closed its doors, the town was
faced with a major economic heartache. The community renovated
itself and emerged as a self-reliant town with many
opportunities for small retail and shop owners. These days,
small businesses are continually thriving, while knowledge-based
enterprises and services are quietly emerging. Sisters takes
pride in being a small community with the perfect ingredients to
grow a multitude of self-owned businesses.
Sisters has
become an outstanding area to raise a family. Its public school
system is among the state’s best, thanks in large part to the
community’s own support and donations. Its healthcare clinic is
a satellite office of the Bend Memorial Clinic, providing family
health services in a variety of fields. Additionally, Sisters
offers its residents a library, multiple civic and religious
organizations, full service health spas, and a weekly newspaper.
It may be a
small town, but Sisters has a big heart. The beauty of its
surroundings and the affability of its citizens make it the
ideal place to put down roots. As Bend area real estate
