About the Oroville Metro Market

Situated in the heart of the Lake Oroville Recreation Area and the scenic Sierra Oro Farm Trail Tourism Route (www.sierraoro.org), the Market Service Area for the subject properties continues to attract an increasingly affluent population drawn to its spectacular surroundings and major California attractions. The Greater Oroville Area has a population of more than 52 thousand and according to statistics compiled by the California State University, Chico, the population is projected to reach more than 75,000 by 2015.

The primary population center near the Subject Properties is Kelly Ridge Estates, a 1,500 home development overlooking Lake Oroville, which includes a golf club, restaurant, clubhouse, swimming pools and tennis courts. Additionally, there is a significant number of homes in the nearby rural communities of Berry Creek, Brush Creek and Feather Falls, and the surrounding Retail Service Area has a population in excess of 8,680 and more than 4,000 housing units. Nearly half of the population is employed, making the un-employment rate among the lowest in the County. According to the last census, the median house hold income is $41,195.

The hallmark attraction is Lake Oroville, which offers 167 miles of shoreline along with secluded coves, world-class fishing, house boating, swimming, picnicking, water skiing and jet skiing. Lake Oroville also hosts several fishing tournaments including the BASSmasters Tournament Trial Series. All of the subject properties are within 3 miles of the Bidwell Canyon Marina and at the proverbial "gateway" to the lake and the Kelly Ridge Golf Course and Country Club area as well as all of the major cultural and entertainment destinations around the area. The nearby Gold Country Resort and Casino has also become a major tourist attraction and economic hub power center. The resort offers a first class hotel and attracts top entertainers and huge numbers of visitors who spend tourist dollars throughout the area.
