Oregon Coast Homes Under 700K

At $700,000, the North Oregon Coast search moves into its upper tier. This is the budget where Cannon Beach — the most iconic address on the Oregon Coast — becomes a realistic entry point. Where protected ocean views shift from occasional to expected. And where the properties you're competing for are defined by quality, location, and finish.

This guide covers what $700K actually delivers across each community and who at Home + Sea can help you find it.

What $700,000 Gets You on the North Oregon Coast

At $700K, superior locations, genuine views, and high-quality finishes become the standard rather than the exception. Here's what comes into reach:

• Entry into Cannon Beach — one of the most prestigious coastal addresses in the Pacific Northwest — with strategic opportunities in Tolovana Park and the wooded neighborhoods east of Highway 101
• More choice and better positioning within Manzanita, moving from simply gaining entry to selecting the right fit within the village
• Homes with legitimate, often protected ocean views — particularly in Oceanside and Cape Meares
• Spacious, fully renovated family homes with professional-grade finishes, spa-like primary bathrooms, and extensive outdoor living space
• Architecturally distinctive properties — A-frames, contemporary custom builds, and mid-century homes with genuine character
• Premier properties at the top of the market in Wheeler, Nehalem, Garibaldi, and Netarts — often custom-built with the best available views and finishes

What $700K Unlocks in Each Community

Cannon Beach: Oregon's most iconic coastal address — Haystack Rock, a vibrant arts scene, and streets that draw visitors from around the world. At $700K this is your entry point. Look for smaller older cottages in Tolovana Park or homes in the wooded neighborhoods east of Highway 101. The trade-offs on size or condition are real — but the address and long-term appreciation case are equally real.

Manzanita: At $700K, Manzanita opens from entry into genuine choice — well-maintained homes in good locations, closer to the village or the golf course, with room to select rather than simply accept.

Oceanside and Cape Meares: At $700K you are in a strong position to secure a home with truly spectacular and often protected ocean views — the defining feature of these dramatic cliffside villages on the Three Capes Scenic Loop.

• 

  Rockaway Beach

  Oceanfront cottages and ocean-view homes along Pacific Street, Manhattan Beach and Nedonna Beach — the coast's most accessible oceanfront is within reach here.

• 

  Manzanita

  Village homes and well-kept houses in the Pine Ridge and Classic Street neighborhoods, walkable to the beach and the shops, with the first ocean-view homes on the hillside.

• 

  Nehalem

  River-frontage homes and acreage at the valley's edge, and the better village houses, for buyers who value land, water and quiet over a beach address.

• 

  Cannon Beach

  Cottages and condominiums in the village and Tolovana, and ocean-view homes on the slopes above the town, in the North Coast's best-known beach town.

• 

  Astoria

  The city's finest hillside homes begin here — restored Victorians and craftsman houses with Columbia River views, in a town with a historic downtown and a working port.

• 

  Seaside

  Ocean-view condominiums on the Prom, large family homes across town and the first beachfront houses north of the center and at the Cove.

Rockaway Beach, Nehalem, Garibaldi, Wheeler, and Netarts: In these communities, $700K places you at the top of the local market — large custom-built homes with the best available water views, premium finishes, and significant privacy.

Common Property Types Under $700,000

• Homes with protected ocean views

  Legitimate ocean views — often architecturally framed and legally protected — become a defining feature at this budget. Particularly strong in Oceanside and Cape Meares.

• Spacious renovated family homes

  Fully updated homes with professional-grade kitchens, primary suites designed for comfort, and generous outdoor living space — properties that perform as both personal retreats and vacation rental investments.

• Premier neighborhood properties

  Access to the most desirable and established addresses in each community — the streets and locations that hold value through any market cycle.

• Architecturally distinctive homes

  A-frames, contemporary custom builds, and mid-century properties with genuine character appear more frequently at this price point.

• Strategic Cannon Beach entry

  An older home on the right lot in Cannon Beach at $700K is a land and address play — one where a thoughtful renovation can produce one of the area's most exceptional properties.
