A bounty of choices in Bayfront
Bayfront is a charming waterfront community in Newport with beautiful views of the Yaquina Bay, plentiful restaurants and diverse homes. "It's a very vibrant, busy area," says Heidi Rogers, an Oregon Coast native and Principal Broker with Sotheby's International Realty who has sold homes in the Newport area. "It's easy to get down to the bayfront, see the shops and restaurants or walk to beach." While strolling along the docks, residents can sometimes spot sea lions basking in the sun and according to Rogers, the weather is "great because it’s inland as opposed to right on the shore. There's more sun, less fog and less wind." With so much to do and beautiful weather to do it in, Bayfront combines everything there is to love about waterfront living.
