Small subdivision next to sports and a retirement community

The winding streets of the Mont Crest subdivision neighbor those of the Rogue Valley Manor retirement community. “Rogue Valley Manor is at the top of the Mont Crest area,” says Dixie Hackstedde, a principal broker with John L. Scott Real Estate. “It’s a big retirement community that is intermingled with some of the housing,” she says, of the Rogue Valley Manor complex. Besides the retirement community and the nearby Asante Rogue Valley Medical Center, the neighborhood is close to some of the area’s largest athletic facilities.

Fifteen athletic fields at Lithia and Driveway

Mont Crest is sandwiched between two golf courses, across the highway from an extensive athletic field complex. The state-of-the-art athletic facilities include the Lithia and Driveway ball fields complex, which has three full-stadium baseball fields, seven softball and baseball practice fields and five soccer and football fields, totaling 132 acres. With almost 1.5 million square feet of synthetic grass, it’s the largest municipal installation of FieldTurf in the country, maintained by the Medford Parks, Recreation and Facilities. Several Mont Crest homes back up to the Centennial Golf Club. The course’s 18-hole layout was designed by two-time PGA Tour winner and 1977 U.S. Amateur Champion John Fought, and developed, in part, by the nearby Rogue Valley Manor. The course is hailed as one of the top 50 golf courses in the country by Golf World magazine—solo or as part of a men’s or women’s club. For a change of scenery, they can traverse the retirement community to play on Quail Point Golf Course’s 75 acres.

Golf-inspired dishes at Centennial Grille

Homes built on cul-de-sacs in the 1980s

Mira Mar Avenue and La Loma Drive are the main residential roads of Mont Crest, with several smaller streets and cul-de-sacs that branch off. “It’s an older neighborhood, with older homes built in the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Hackstedde says. Most homes feature ranch-style layouts with three bedrooms, fetching between $400,000 and $460,000. Larger, more modern properties can exceed that range while older properties—some in need of renovation—tend to have lower selling prices. Most streets feature well-maintained sidewalks and evergreen trees, and many homeowners enjoy private garages. Buyers looking in the south of the neighborhood should note its proximity to Interstate 5, which may be noisy.

Mont Crest is situated immediately off of I-5

Interstate 5 is southwest of the subdivision, convenient for commuters heading out of town. Barnett Road, north of the neighborhood, takes drivers to Downtown Medford, which is about 3.5 miles away. The neighborhood's northern boundary—Juanipero Way—becomes Black Oak Drive and runs north past Rogue Valley Country Club, another popular regional golfing destination.

Increased risk of wildfire

Because of the region's hot temperatures and the greenery that surrounds the neighborhood, Mont Crest is potentially at risk of wildfires and decreased air quality. To manage the risk, the city enforces weed abatement and other precautions.
