A walkable and highly desirable beach community
Manzanita is one of the most sought-after communities on the northern Oregon Coast. It combines a broad sandy beach, views of Neahkahnie Mountain, a walkable downtown, boutique shopping, independent restaurants, arts programming, and access to some of the region’s best hiking and outdoor recreation.
Laneda Avenue connects Highway 101 directly to the beach and forms the center of town. Residents can walk from surrounding neighborhoods to coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, galleries, markets, and the shoreline.
The real estate market includes beach cottages, renovated second homes, luxury residences, ocean-view properties, townhomes, and vacation rentals. Demand and limited inventory often place Manzanita among Tillamook County’s higher-priced markets.

What it is like to live here
Manzanita may be especially appealing to buyers who want:
- A walkable beach community
- Boutique shopping and strong dining options
- Luxury or second-home opportunities
- A vibrant but still small-scale downtown
- Access to hiking, surfing, golf, paddling, and state parks
- A strong vacation-home market
- A community with arts, farmers markets, and year-round amenities
Because Manzanita is highly desirable and geographically limited, buyers should be prepared for fewer listings, stronger competition for well-located homes, and pricing that can be higher than in neighboring communities.
