I'm definitely leaning towards this town. I've got 8 years to plan

Your boring!!!

Does your relocation service help with finding _rentals_ along the Oregon coast? Not all of us who want to retire at the Oregon coast want to buy a home there.

Very informative. Thank you.

You better spend a winter on the Oregon coast before even thinking about buying a home there. You’ve been warned.

Looking forward to trying Tidal Raves. I was disappointed to find that most fish here in restaurants are deep fried. There is also not many choices of different types of fresh fish here. I thought that was strange in a coastal tourist community.

Dude cant pronouce Yaquina Bay!

Oregonians have the most beautiful coast. The Washington coast mostly to the Native Americans and is not that scenic. Calif. has a beautiful coast.

Can you address medical in your videos please, it would be very helpful

Fun video - now we're hungry!

Great views from rented condos at The Village at North Pointe. I stayed at one called Sea View. The living room and dining room were 60 feet from the ocean. Great views of the waves hitting the rocky cliff. Walking distance to Tidal Raves. The rental companies are Keystone Vacation Rentals, Blue Pacific, and Ocean Beach Vacations. The cocktail shrimp are local. I think the ling cod is the best fish locally.

The real trick to living at the coast is living at Coquille. Just far enough from 101 to be out of the fog, but close enough to the coast for the ocean in minutes. Beware of Myrtle Point as it's at the head of the valley and gets the wind.

if one can give up the requirement of insisting on oceanfront or ocean view homes, you can do much better heading inland a bit. i moved from so. cal. to brookings 10 years ago. no, i didn’t bring a californian attitude… i was wishing to escape from california attitudes. oceanfront or ocean view wasn’t in my budget. i headed up the chetco river a couple of miles and found a wonderful nearly 2 acre property in the hills. do i have an ocean view? nope, but i have my own tranquil mini forest. can i walk to the beach? no, but the river is a 4 minute drive away and the beach is 10 minutes away. i love having some breathing room and not being in my neighbor’s pocket. so, if you can adjust your priorities, you can get some amazing properties and still have the feeling of oregon coastal living.

Super cool drone footage. Nicely done.

Not only do we not agree with you about how expensive it is to live on the oregin coast (it is expensive for people trying to make a living here) I would like to say to all new comers, register your freakin' Vehicle like the rest of us do. Nothing pisses me off more than watching our housing being purchased by out if staters and then watch them drive around for years with out an oregon registered vehicle..35 years on the coast and im sick of it. Wasnt always like that. And lets remind people that we may not have sales tax but our paychecks reflect plenty of taxes. Si, dont say to us how "lucky" we are until you bring home your first paycheck.

You should have also judged access to shopping: groceries, clothing, home goods and hardware. Many of these places require driving far for everyday supplies.

I retired in Manzanita. So happy. The other two cities in the area - Nehalem and Wheeler - deserve mention. Best decision I’ve ever made but 🤫 sssh. Don’t tell anyone. Ohh shit my big mouth. Crossing my fingers regarding the big quake.

regarding brookings. i moved here 10 years ago from l.a. county and it was definitely a good decision. sutter hospital in crescent city does not have a great reputation. not sure about gold beach’s hospital since it is fairly new…. the old hospital did not have a great reputation. basically you have to go to either medford or grants pass. medford is definitely NOT a 2 hour drive! i don’t know why the uploader said that. it’s nearly 3. grants pass is just over 2 hours away and they have decent medical facilities. however, the road from brookings into the inland valley is slow, winding and is subject to closure if there is snow or ice. also the wildfires last year crippled the road with repair closures. beware if that is a concern. we do have some good, local general practice doctors and dentists here but anything more serious will require a trip inland. it is somewhat reassuring to know that there are life flights available from brookings to medford in case of an emergency. you can buy insurance for this and the rates are affordable.

The heat is the biggest issue living inland as we do….Vancouver/ Portland. We go camping on the coast, which helps!

Less heat extremes at any time would be great!!

Good help is hard to find. Even if they call you back, they may not show up. They also charge both arms and one leg. It's good to learn some DIY and gardening skills if you live here. Safeway prices are outrageous. It's Windy most days, start out c a lm but expect it to become windy. Dont expect weed-free yard, not happening. Weeds are a staple here. If you build, make sure it's a strong fence: high winds will destroy it. If there's deer and elk, Unless you have a fence, elk and deer will enter, invited or not. They will eat most plants that are labeled deer-resistant. Elk will make a mess and kick your mulch into piles. They also leave 💩 everywhere. Avoid any metal except stainless steel. It will rust in short time. Expect a lot of tourists in summer. If you build a home on the coast, I recommend you get a local builder to make sure it's built for the area. The winter storms are no joke. In December 2008, we had storm that lasted three days straight with over 100 mph wind gusts. I don't recall what sustained winds were. We lost power for 6 days. Every tree in my community went down. One neighbor lost half the roof on their house. That was an unusual year. Winds gusts are normally 60 to 75 up yo 80 mph, depending on the area.

I hope you bring up the fact that All these towns are in tsunami zones if you're on the west side, and overdue for a 9.0 earthquake. Oregon Coast is not for everyone. Winters are long, gloomy, wet, cold. Some people move here and realize they can't deal with it. Astoria is nice if you get away from the town itself. That's just my opinion. Seaside is a dumpster.

I've lived on the coast for 20 years and crime and homeless population definitely went up after they legalized drugs. Blame the voters who voted for this. Rust and corrosion is a major problem. Stick with stainless steel if possible.

I live on the Oregon coast. I prefer to stay at home in the summer because it gets too busy with tourists, traffic is annoying, especially during holidays. No, it's not busy like California busy, but for Oregon Coast, it is.

I moved then moved back moved and now I own a house with an Ocean view and beach front... Phoenix Az things close early. You can't pay cash at Circle K after 10pm in Phoenix. Self checkout only. Beautiful, quiet and happy people On the coast... Rain makes everything green 💚

The Seller has always paid both the Seller agent and the Buyers agent - nothings changed, its just now being called Buyer agent credit. 😂

23 months to go.....can't wait to retire there:)

Ya more outsiders snapping up real estate to jack the price up so only once again only the wealthy can afford to buy.,.

We were JUST looking for something on/near the coast. NOT EVEN CONSIDERING IT now. Absolute garbage properties described by brokers who have a career in politics and sellers wanting, and getting, insane prices. We’re now looking at the gulf coast where prices and politics are far more reasonable.

Drink on " Ya Know" 😊😊😊

Imagine these places you mentioned with large populations have higher crime isn’t that a mindblower

I live in Yachats. While the beauty of this area is what attracts visitors, it is the people here that make it the place to live. Great little village, wonderful people. I am a photographer. If you want to see more images of Yachats and the area around us, I including a direct link: www.scottgeographic.org/CentralCoast.

Great video! I’m from Toledo and my family has lived there for generations. I’ve lived in central California all of my adult life but I’m looking to move back 💚🌲

Mispronounced Glenada

Are you from California?

I grew up there in Coos Bay. Its a drunk and drug infested place due to rain 10 months out of the year. Believe me it sucks and jobs are low pay.

I visited Lincoln City, Newport, Depoe Bay, Waldport, Yachats & Florence 4-5 times in the past 10 yrs. I live in Chicago & comparing the crime (that I’ve grown up with) to the Oregon coast made it seem like I was visiting a monastery. I’m seriously considering relocating to L.C or Newport for my retirement.

Cannon beach is tillamook county dude

One of the top needs in retirement is medical care. We tried it out for 6 years prior to retirement to make a decision., moved to Boise and live minutes from great medical facilites. Kept the place on the ooast for a few months a year to enjoy the weather but not our retirement place,. many of our friends who aged have left for the same reason. NO specialties, months to get appts. in Eugene, and don't have a stroke on tuesday or thursday.

I've lived on the Oregon coast for about 32 years. Summer is spectacular ... January thru mid-April is a good time to visit Palm Springs. See: czcams.com/video/003X_aTcKAg/video.html

I am surprised that someone who specializes in Oregon coast properties mispronounced Yaquina.

No jobs, high drug use in Coosbay. Astoria lovez Heroin and meth. If you want calm, beautiful nature. Any where between Florence and Newport is the up and coming area. But still underdeveloped. This is blowing smoke trying to sell you into three worst spots.. every part of the coast is nice to visit, each place for different reasons. Living there is a different story. Yachats is just beginning to buzz

Depoe Bay - great VRBO condos.

I wonder if some of the reported population decline for Astoria and Seaside is because homes that were occupied as primary residences have been purchased as second or third homes.

Gawt damn man you showing your face more than the town! Seaside is a cool little town but, its not for everyon. Weather is typically shite most of the year. Rain... colder. Coastal temps usually much cooler than inland. Lots of dumpy little shacks and bungalows just outside the main tourist areas.

Newport has mad homelessness and drugs. It is very beautiful, hospital is new. Waldport uses the Newport hospital and it is a sweet place with a beautiful bridge and bay.

Reedsport is nice. It is very small, but it does have 2 grocery stores, an ace hardware, and a dollar store. They have very few restaurants but they do host the chainsaw carving contest! It's a cool place. So is Winchester Bay/ Salmon Harbor. Reedsport has the Lower Umpaua Hospital. Not large but ready and able.

Family lived 18 miles west of Forest Grove. Had Family relatives in Astoria and Friends in Tillamook. Liked the coast. I retired from the Navy 11-92. I live in Mount Vernon, Washington since 7-94.

I travel from Eureka CA to the Oregon border several times a year. I just cannot tell you what a beautiful drive it is, and I have travelled all over the world and seen some amazing views... Goonies the movie was filmed partly on the Oregon coast at Astoria.

Newport is our favorite getaway place. Good restaurants, Nye Beach, the harbor, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, close to other coastal spots.
