1 Reviews & Comments About Philomath
I lived in Philomath for many years and raised my daughter there. Philomath is a small town about 5 miles west of Corvallis and on a major through fare to the Oregon Coast. For years Philomath was mainly a wood products industry town with sawmills on each end and in the middle, very middle class. There is little violent crime, however, there are pockets of drug related crime and prostitution and as they get busted the move to another part of town. The schools in Philomath are ok, but some of the teaching staff is very incompetent and disrespectful to the students. A local timber baron built the high school/community indoor summing pool and his foundation provides scholarships to eligible high school graduates of Philomath. As years progressed and the timber industry declined, Philomath struggled for economic viability and many businesses permanently closed, then new technology businesses started moving into the area which has improved the overall quality of the town. Overall if you like small towns close to outdoor recreational activities Philomath is a good choice and I would recommend it.
Things that stood out was the comeback of the towns economic assets with technology moving in to replace part of the timber industry lost. The bad, is the busted drug and prostitution groups moving from one location to another and co-mingling within neighborhoods.
