Laid-back living along the Rogue River
The Rogue River runs north of Fruitdale, a rustic country neighborhood on the southeast side of Grants Pass. “Fruitdale is known for being rural, on the edge of town, but within a five-minute drive of services and shopping,” says Kendon Leet, owner of Kendon Leet Real Estate in Grants Pass. Engulfed by trees and hills, the neighborhood has flat streets with minimal traffic. People take advantage of the river by fishing and riding on boats. Residents can bike around the neighborhood, but for the most part, they navigate the area by car.
Chinook Park has access to the Rogue River, with a boat launch for rafters and fisherman.
Tom Pearce Park is the largest park in the area offering beautiful sights in fall.

Fishing, rafting and picnicking along the Rogue River
The Rogue River flows gently past Fruitdale, lending itself to leisurely fishing or rafting. “It’s an internationally known fishing river with excellent fishing any day of the year,” Leet says. Anglers can access the river at Chinook County Park’s boat launch to fish for salmon and steelhead trout. Fishing is a year-round pastime, and rafting and boating are popular in the summer. Running roughly parallel to Fruitdale Creek is the Fruitdale Creek Trail, a paved path for cyclists and pedestrians beginning in the middle of the neighborhood before extending south. Fruitdale Park has a soccer field and pickleball courts near the Fruitdale Elementary School. On the other side of the river, Tom Pearce Park stretches more than 100 acres, containing an 18-hole disc golf course, a duck pond and lots of picnic tables.
Single family homes along the Rogue River in Fruitdale have backyard river access.

Events at the Josephine County Fairgrounds
Less than 3 miles east, the Josephine County Fairgrounds hosts community events throughout the year. Between its indoor and outdoor facilities, including a horse barn and racing track, the JoCo Fairgrounds can accommodate everything from square dancing to winter RV storage. Grants Pass Downs, a racing tradition since 1968, takes place in summer and fall. On Saturdays from November through March, vendors convene for the Grants Pass Growers Market under the covered pavilion. The Fairgrounds also hosts free summer concerts on Thursday evenings.
Homes built between 1930 and 2024
Tree-covered hills surround the neighborhood, especially to the east. Fruitdale residences were built between 1930 and 2024, and ranch-styles are common among older homes. The Grace Garden Estates subdivision at the southern tip of the neighborhood contains contemporary custom homes built after 2000. This subdivision has sidewalks extending past compact front yards with rock gardens, shrubbery and young trees. Fruitdale prices range from $230,000 to $630,000. Homes along Rogue River Highway have backyard river access; these rarely hit the market, and when they do, the asking price is in the $900,000s.

Driving down the Rogue River Highway
The Rogue River Highway, also known as Route 99, runs east-to-west through Fruitdale and leads into the heart of Grants Pass. It parallels the south bank of the Rogue River before heading south to Medford. Josephine County buses stop along the highway and can take passengers to Grants Pass Shopping Center. The nearest hospital, Asante Three Rivers Medical Center, is less than 3 miles west. Although Grants Pass has a public domestic airport, the major airlines stop at Rogue Valley International Medford Airport, 26 miles east.

Dining along the Rogue River
Those floating downriver on the Rogue can wave to folks dining at River’s Edge Restaurant or homeowners grilling in their backyards. River’s Edge overlooks the river and serves steak, pasta and cocktails. Its outdoor seating features patio heaters and twinkle lights, giving the restaurant a warm glow at twilight. Locally owned Bradbury’s Gun-N-Tackle has supplied the area with fishing bait and gear for more than 15 years. Shoppers can get organic and local produce at Farmers Market, a health food store, or browse a wider grocery selection at Safeway. Across the river, Grants Pass Shopping Center includes retailers such as Ross Dress for Less and Goodwill Store & Donation Center.
Stay indoors on smoky air days
Homes bordering the river and Fruitdale Creek come with a flood risk. The forests of southern Oregon are susceptible to fires, and wildfire smoke can create poor air quality. This is more likely during the warm, dry summers, but fire and air quality risks decrease when the autumn rains come.
