Lakeview (Oregon)

Unless you have a small airplane to fly into the Lake County Airport, the only ways into Lakeview are by highway: U.S. Route 395 from the north and south, and Oregon Route 140 from the east and west. There is no scheduled train or bus service.

Get acquainted with Lakeview by walking the downtown area. Except for some businesses on the west side of town (mostly along N 4th Street/SR 140) and the south side (along US 395), most retail establishments are within the grid bounded by E, G, N 4th, and S 2nd Streets.
Except for some of the newer areas on the west side of town, most streets are numbered (for streets going east and west) and lettered (north-south). The use of compass directions in addresses can be initially confusing:

• There are no east-west designations in address numbers: streets start at the edge of the mountain to the east of town, with addresses increasing to the west.
• Center Street runs east and west. Streets parallel to it have North or South as part of the street name. For instance, 700 S 9th St. would be 1 block west of 600 S 9th St., on an east-west street that is 9 blocks south of Center.
• On lettered streets, North and South are part of the address number: For instance, 123 S G St. would be in the second block south of Center Street.
