HOMES

Around ninety percent of homes in the Rosamond area are no more than 25 years old, and the majority are 15 or less. 

PUBLIC FACILITIES

While Rosamond is still unincorporated, facilities-wise we already have the nucleus of the town-to-be:

Wanda Kirk Library Study & research areas, internet, meeting rooms, etc.	Post office & Fire Station Our brand-new fire station replaces a WW-II era structure and is more centralized relative to the growing population.		Community Services The RCSD handles water, sewer, parks.	While the nearest hospital is in Lancaster, we have fulltime ambulance service.

BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL

Though "heavy duty" shoppers must still travel to Lancaster/Palmdale for large appliances, furniture and clothing, we do have local sources for virtually everything needed day-to-day:

Shopping Center Now around 11 years old, this center is still the "shopping focus" of Rosamond	Supermarket The arrival of Albertson's was truly a milestone in Rosamond	Rite-Aid Drugs, etc. Having a selection of specialty stores greatly augments the "livability" of our town.	Karl's Hardware A local stand-by for decades, family-owned Karl's seems to have everything. Diamond Street location.

Devonshire Motel Weekend crowds at Willow Springs Raceway often fill this motel, but weekdays are generally quiet.	Law Offices We have a couple of resident lawyers if needed: Olaf Landsgaard Cynthia White	Curves A favorite of the ladies (Hey, we guys like curves too)	Ford Dealer New or used, you can get it right here in Rosamond	Fast Service This Jiffy Lube can get you back on the road in short order.  We also have several auto repair businesses.

Arco We've got gas stations! No excuse for running out of gas in Rosamond. Just off the freeway.  Convenience store.	Chevron East Typically 5-10 cents higher, but if you like the brand....	Chevron West Formerly a Citgo, this station also boasts a Jack-in-the-Box	Fastrip Generally matching Arco's price, this 'independent' also has a convenience store. Corner of Sierra & Rosamond Blvd.	Auto Zone This  'chain' auto parts store is on Rosamond Blvd. west of the freeway
