Review of Astoria, Oregon


Numbers Skewed by Vacation Homes
Star Rating - 1/31/2010
When looking at Cost of Living figures the high number attributed to the Astoria area includes several neighboring cities, Seaside, Cannon Beach, etc. These communities include large numbers of expensive vacation homes, and consequently the Cost of Living figure appears to be off...factor that in if you are considering the area. We feel it is a very affordable area with the exception of housing, and modest housing choices are quite available especially now in 2010.

This comment might have been true in 2010 but in modern day the values (especially rent) on this site are an underestimate of cost of living in Astoria. I rent a room in a house for $750 a month, and all my friends who have 1 Bedroom apartments are paying above $1k/month. This is still fairly affordable, but not as cheap as this website would have you believe
