Klamath Falls in Dire Need of New Housing
The Herald and News reported that Klamath Falls faces a housing crunch that will only intensify as Kingsley Field brings hundreds of new military personnel, Oregon Institute of Technology grows its student body, and Sky Lakes Medical Center recruits physicians who need somewhere to live. Home inventory has dropped well below healthy levels while prices continue to climb. Ridgewater Properties is one of the only new custom home communities actively building in the basin — with approximately 96 homesites remaining and no Phase 2 planned.
Ridgewater Properties — Custom Homes Now Available in Klamath Falls
While the Klamath Basin faces a well-documented housing shortage, Ridgewater Properties is actively building. A 500-acre gated custom home community with more than 200 acres of common ground, Ridgewater offers half-acre to three-plus-acre homesites with fully custom homes from $700K. Oregon State Firewise certified — homeowners qualify for fire insurance from day one. Approximately 96 of 150 total homesites remain. There is no Phase 2 and no expansion planned. When they're sold, they're sold.
Klamath County Housing Shortage Reaching Critical Mass
In a separate editorial, the Herald and News called the lack of housing in Klamath County a crisis that the entire community needs to address. The paper noted that economic development leaders, local realtors, and institutional employers — including Kingsley Field, OIT, Sky Lakes Medical Center, and Klamath Community College — all point to housing as the single biggest barrier to the region's growth. California retirees and wildfire evacuees have already begun relocating to the basin, adding further pressure. Ridgewater Properties is directly addressing that demand with custom homes on half-acre to three-plus-acre lots, approximately 96 homesites remaining, and a build timeline of approximately six months.
