Taft Heights Reviews
Rating 2.67 out of 5 6 reviews
I love this town that I was born and raised in. But on another scale I wish Taft was bigger so we had more to do in the small town. We are finally getting a new hotel, "Best Western" and soon to come more places to eat. Taft is not far for others places to go to, like the beach which is 1 1/2 to 2 hours away, and there's the mountains which is less or at the most about an hour away (depending on which way u go). Sometimes I wish Taft could get more snow in the winter! Love the winter and holiday time, especially being with family and friends. So other than that, Taft is a good places to raise families and meet new people and make new friends.
The most popular local businesses are located on one street. They span down the length of it, but do not have catchy names and are hard to remember. For the most part, the services in these stores are excellent, but they are hardly open due to the lack of customers. When someone wants new clothes, often they will go out of town. If they do not have the money, they will shop at Kmart or Goodwill. Kmart is considered a nice place for many people because of the lack of other places to go and McDonalds is the local place where teenagers go to hang out.
The houses each have their own character and are unique. But sometimes that gets in the way of a person looking to buy. Many times, houses are left abandoned for years before a resident moves in. Other times, they sell almost as soon as they land on the market.
