Wonderful place to live

Warren is the tiny gem of Columbia County. It's a wonderful place to live - bucolic, quiet, friendly, safe, and possessing a great sense of community. Neighbors watch out for each other, everyone waves and smiles, people walk and jog. It's becoming more and more a bedroom community of Portland which isn't a bad thing especially considering it has one of the best commutes in the area - a fairly low trafficked highway with beautiful views along the river. There's no town center but Scappoose and St. Helens are within a few miles. Each of these towns has a library, a few cafes/restaurants, grocery stores, etc. What I love most besides great neighbors is having the best flat water kayaking right here.
The cons of the area are:
No really good restaurants
40+ minute drive on Hwy 30 to get to Portland. It's just too long a drive to make going out to a show or to dinner really worth it, especially if you're already commuting every day.
Police response is terrible if you have to call them for anything such as illegal fireworks, noise, or .....
