Living in Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach is the postcard: Haystack Rock at low tide, a walkable village of galleries, bakeries, and bookshops, and a strict design code that has kept the town looking like itself for fifty years. It is the highest-value market on the North Coast and the one where inventory is scarcest. Tolovana Park to the south and Arch Cape, Falcon Cove, and Cove Beach farther down Highway 101 give buyers quieter, more private options with the same coastline.

Who chooses Cannon Beach

Second-home buyers from Portland and Seattle, retirees who want a walkable village with the ocean at the end of the street, and investors in the limited number of legal vacation rentals. Full-time residents are a smaller group, and the ones who live here year-round are committed to the town and its schools, arts, and Haystack Rock Awareness Program.

What the housing looks like

Oceanfront and ocean-view homes along the beach and the bluffs, weathered-shingle cottages in the village core, contemporary homes on the hillside east of 101, and a mix of cabins and custom homes in Arch Cape and Falcon Cove. Cannon Beach's vacation-rental permits are capped and transfer rules matter, so ask us before you plan on rental income. We have sold here recently, including on East Monroe Street.

Getting around

Seaside is 15 minutes north, Gearhart 20, Astoria 40, Manzanita 20 minutes south, and Portland about 80 minutes east on Highway 26.
