Jeffers Gardens, OR

Just south of Astoria across Youngs Bay, Jeffers Gardens offers a quiet, rural lifestyle right on the water. The community sits where Jeffers Slough meets the Lewis and Clark River, featuring larger lots, wooded yards, and private boat docks. You are only a short drive from downtown Astoria’s shops and restaurants, but the day-to-day rhythm here is calm, scenic, and unhurried.

The neighborhood also carries a rich boatbuilding heritage. The historic Astoria Marine Construction Company set up shop along Front Road in the 1920s, crafting wooden fishing vessels and naval ships through the mid-century. That working-waterfront past still lends the riverbank a lot of character. For anyone looking for extra breathing room, water access, and a relaxed coastal setting, Jeffers Gardens is an appealing place to settle down.
