Location is one of the biggest perks for residents who love the outdoors, with Highway 26 and Highway 6 serving as direct routes out to the Oregon Coast and the Tillamook State Forest.

North Plains makes a great landing spot for anyone seeking room to breathe without giving up easy access to the city.
