City of La GRANDE

Original Painting by Marc Desobeau available at Highlands Station, LLC

La Grande is a handsome city of 13,000 that lies on the edge of the lush Grande Ronde Valley 250 miles east of Portland. It’s the County Seat of Union County and is the area's largest city. Eastern Oregon University, the only university in Oregon east of the Cascade Mountains, adds culture and diversity to a community historically connected to the railroad, agriculture and the timber industry.

Those looking for a permanent home will find affordable housing and a lifestyle free from traffic congestion, violent crime and many of the other ills that afflict urban areas. Modern telecommunication services make possible many information and high technology enterprises. The community is currently developing a technology park to create employment opportunities through a connection with programs offered by the University.
