Rogue Valley Manor

Most times when we went to Downtown Medford during our life in Southern Oregon we could see the Rogue Valley Manor buildings (I think their names were Main Manor and Skyline Plaza, and the area is a retirement complex), as their position of top of a small mountain rising above the city made them easy to spot from afar. I always loved watching the towers get closer as we drove into Medford.

For several years, I wanted to take a picture of them, as I liked the buildings, and I was vocal about this, but the circumstances were never right to get a picture of them (the most common cause was not having the camera with us). In our last week in the United States, a chance finally arose for me to get a picture of them, but rather than just one picture, I took a few. Here is one of them:


It was taken in the evening from a parking lot for a shopping area, and I was able to get a picture without a car in the way. I do miss the varied views of the Rogue Valley Manor: I always thought they were impressive looking buildings, and I have not moved from that opinion.

  1. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Rogue Valley Manor. You're correct, the visible buildings are the Main Manor (on the left) and Skyline Plaza on the far right. Our newest building--opened almost two years ago--is in the center of your photo and is the Manor Terrace.

    You are also correct that the Rogue Valley Manor is a retirement community, a continuing care retirement community to be exact.

    You can find pictures of these buildings, and pictures of the Rogue Valley as seen from our hilltop on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/rvmanor

  2. You're welcome, and thanks for taking the time to comment. Regarding the Manor Terrace, it looks good and fits in with its surroundings (and I have seen it in person), but it's the building I am least familiar with as it wasn't built when I moved to Southern Oregon in 2000!

    I have had a look at your Facebook page, and you do have some great images on there. I always like looking at pictures of the area that was my home for ten years. Thanks for sharing them.
