    "I talk to two of my neighbors but they are great people. I have lived in Vale for almost 20 years and I Love our community. "
  • donald s. j.
    "West Lincoln County, Great Schools, Farm Country with room to breath. We moved in Last June (Been a whole year now!) and we love it. Acres of land and good folk that know the difference between right and wrong not just the color of money. If you are looking for peace and quite Vale has that in spades. If you are looking for a great place to raise a family Vale has that too! If you are looking for nightlife and noise dont bother with Vale because it wont suit you. "
  • Beth

  • Lillie B.
    "It's very friendly, quiet, rural, and a great place to raise children & all the animals you want. Conveniences and markets are close by for farmers as well as the public. "
