Quiet streets near the Oregon coast in Echo Mountain Park
In the thick pine woodlands of Lincoln County, Echo Mountain Park is a small, hillside neighborhood just 3 miles from Otis Junction and the Oregon Coast Highway. The community curves along the Salmon River, offering private streets with minimal through traffic and spacious properties about 6 miles from the beach. “People are drawn to the Echo Mountain Park area for the quiet surroundings and slower pace of life,” says Leah Michelson, a local real estate broker with Taylor & Taylor Realty Co., who grew up in the Otis area. “You get more elbow room out here, and homes are more affordable with lower property taxes compared to Lincoln City.”
Rebuilding established homes and spacious lots
Ranch-style homes, bungalows and manufactured homes make up the architectural scene in Echo Mountain Park. Some properties were built between the 1970s and early 2000s, with many newer builds coming after 2020, when a fire wiped out around 300 houses. “The community really came together to help one another clean up and rebuild,” says Michelson. “Most houses have been rebuilt as of 2025, but you can still see the effect that the fire had on the surrounding forests.” Homes on the southwest side of the neighborhood, surrounding Yodel Lane, sit on quarter and half-acre lots, while hillside homes on the north side have larger lots measuring up to five acres. Home prices range from $250,000 to $590,000. The neighborhood also has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, the lowest possible score.
Small businesses in Otis and nearby amenities in Lincoln City
While the community is largely residential, there are a handful of businesses within a short drive. Zeller’s Riverside Bar and Grill is a few miles east along Highway 18 and serves seafood, burgers and pizza along with draft beer and cocktails that can be enjoyed alongside a game of pool or darts. On the weekends, Zeller’s offers sweet and savory brunch fare. Wyldfire Coffee Company is a drive-through spot with cups of Joe, smoothies and bagels. Otis Pizzeria serves takeout and delivery pies, calzones, sub sandwiches and burgers. Next door, Otis Market has a small selection of snacks and essentials. For a larger selection, Lincoln City has a Safeway around 6 miles west.
Cascade Head hiking and fishing along the Salmon River
The Salmon River flows right in the backyard of some homes, along with a few more access points along Highway 18. Anglers can cast a line to reel in Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. The Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve spans over 100,000 acres of forests and shoreline in the Lincoln City area, encompassing the Echo Mountain Park neighborhood and surrounding communities. The 6-mile Rainforest Trail hike winds through meadows and woodlands, with picturesque views of the Pacific shoreline. Lincoln City has 7 miles of public beach, including numerous access points across town, where visitors explore tide pools, hit the surf or have bonfires on the beach. Each June, Lincoln City hosts the Summer Kite Festival, a two-day event complete with kite-making workshops, kite shows and art displays. The city also hosts a sandcastle contest every August. “It only takes 10 to 15 minutes to get to the city,” Michelson says, “and a lot of the Lincoln City businesses are centered around tourism.”
Career-based learning at Lincoln City schools
Kindergarten through second-grade students may attend Oceanlake Elementary School, which earns a C-plus grade from Niche, followed by C-rated Taft Elementary School for third through sixth grade. Taft 7-12 Middle and High School, also rated C grade, has a variety of career and technical education courses, including commercial graphic design, forestry and early childhood education, plus extracurricular clubs and activities like the Native Student Association and the Battle of the Books.
Lincoln County Transit and easy access to Highway 18

Lincoln County Transit operates the area’s bus routes, with Blueline stops on Panther Creek Road and at the Otis Market. Salem, the nearest major city, is around 50 miles east. Salem-Willamette Valley Airport offers flights to Las Vegas and Burbank, while the larger Portland International Airport is roughly 100 miles away.
