North Bend

Former Resident: Pretty little town on the coast. The beaches are a great. It's a small town making it normally pretty quiet. There does tend to be some areas that are frowned upon, Empire. The schools are rather nice and have good sports teams. The area is pretty family friendly. Parents are often involved with school programs.

Coos Bay

Town in Oregon
42

Current Resident: Coos Bay is a great community; a person couldn’t ask for nicer, more supporting neighbors than Coos Bay has. In my opinion, downtown is not the prettiest place a person could live, but the town is located in a good spot on the coast. This town is perfect for a person who enjoys fishing, hunting, and being in nature, because there is not much else to do here. Coos Bay is about two hours away from Eugene or Roseburg, which both hold the nearest shopping mall and Costco. So if a person is considering living here they must be aware that Walmart, Fred Meyers, Safeway, and Ross are the three biggest places to shop in town. To me, the best part of Coos Bay is the kind community of people who live here. I went through the public school system in North Bend, which is one town over, and can say that both North Bend and Coos Bay have safe schools where a child can get a good education. I recommend Coos Bay to people who want a small town living experience, or people who are retiring.

Coquille

Town in Oregon
13

Former Resident: Coquille has the small city charm and friendly people. I lived there for 6 years and loved it. I hope I can return. Once, at the post office, I purchased a book of stamps. The next day I couldn't find them so I went back to the post office to see if I left them on the counter. They told me know that I n had dropped them on the way out and someone returned them to n the counter. They remembered me and were holding them until I returned. That wouldn't happen in b ery many places.

Current Resident: Bandon is a seaside town on the southern coast of Oregon. Population around 3,000 people. There is year around fishing. The weather is very moderate, not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter. We do get a lot of rain and fog. The landscape is very green and lush with wild berries and mushrooms in abundance. The beaches are clean, accessible and wild at times.
