Discover Antelope: A Historic Town with a Fascinating Past
At the crossroads of Oregon’s high desert region, Antelope is a tiny incorporated city of approximately 39 residents in ZIP code 97001. Located about 34 miles northeast of Madras and 143 miles east of Portland in Wasco County, this small community sits at an elevation of 2,654 feet above sea level. Antelope’s intriguing history dates back to 1872 when it was established as a stage and freight wagon stop, later becoming officially incorporated in 1901. The town gained national notoriety in the 1980s when it was briefly renamed “Rajneesh” during the controversial chapter involving the nearby Rajneeshpuram commune.
Today, Antelope has transformed into a quiet, rural community with a Mediterranean climate featuring warm summers and mild winters. The surrounding landscape showcases the stunning high desert terrain characteristic of north-central Oregon, with Antelope Creek flowing through the area as part of the larger Deschutes River watershed.
Antelope’s Unique Storage Needs
The residents of Antelope face distinctive storage challenges shaped by the community’s remote location and rural lifestyle. With limited local retail options, many residents must travel significant distances for shopping and services, often purchasing supplies in bulk that require additional storage space. The town’s aging housing stock, with many homes built decades ago, typically offers less built-in storage than modern construction, creating demand for supplemental storage solutions.
Antelope’s economic patterns and housing trends also drive specific storage requirements. With a median household income of approximately $60,000 and a predominantly older population (median age 31.8), many residents are retirees downsizing from larger homes while still wanting to keep cherished possessions. The area’s growing appeal to those seeking affordable rural property—with home values significantly below state averages—is bringing new residents who often need temporary storage during their transition to country living.
