Savor the Laid-Back Spirit of Traditional Coastal Living

The Reserve is not just a place on a map; it is a lifestyle.  The stately, traditional elegance of this small and friendly beach town beckons you to savor the pace and quality of life from a century ago. It’s the kind of town where you can get to know the entire City management team in only four introductions.

Built in the late 1800’s, the City of Gearhart’s old downtown invites you to stroll along the streets and browse the art and gift shops, or sample the delicacies at the exquisite Pacific Way Bakery. Take a short bike ride down the beach from The Reserve and a big step back in time when you take the grandkids to town and treat them to the delights of Pop’s Ice Cream Shop – a true 1930s experience.

Life in Gearhart is about family traditions and shared holidays, extended family gatherings for long weekends, and memories made to last a lifetime. It’s about feeling the pleasant, salty breeze as hot dogs roast on a stick while the little ones splash in the surf and the family dog plays fetch. Or bundling up tight in November to watch a storm roll in over the horizon, then warming up at home with a hot fire and good wine.

It is shopping for art in nearby Cannon Beach and returning to spend the evening admiring the find of the day. Or spending an exciting day in Seaside with the little ones hitting the arcades and bumper cars, followed by a barbeque at home and a bike ride along the beach. It is an afternoon visiting the museums in historic Astoria, a stop at Costco on the way back, and stocking the pantry for another week of living this wonderful coastal life.

Life in Gearhart combines stately elegance and American simplicity combined with treasured privacy and abounding opportunities for recreation, relaxation, fun, and peaceful solitude.
