It is nestled in the mountains near Mt. Bachelor and surrounded by lots of great hiking and fishing and of course gold. I don't think you would be disappointed.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would look at Bend Oregon. It is nestled in the mountains near Mt.

My wife and I got out of "life in the fast lane," too. We have two children. We chose southern Oregon along Interstate 5 so that we could enjoy the lower stress but stay close to the amenities (colleges, arts, major shopping areas, airports). I don't recommend the Portland area. You're coming from the SF Bay Area. If you want trees, lakes and fishing (and golf and tennis), you don't want to hang around another major metropolitan city. Southern Oregon offers you four distinct seasons and far less rain than Portland. Over the past year, I've helped several other people who are retiring in Oregon.

I have just done that about a year ago. I have been looking for the same things to. Living in Sandy is quite low key and slow living for most anyone. It(Sandy) has started it growing like most towns in Oregon. It still has the small town charm, though. Medical facilities are not to far, and Portland is close by. The high school here is pretty good, due to a small crime rate, the kids seem pretty darn good. Home prices are beginning to rise, as all towns, but that just gives one a chance to invest for the five year investing. Located only 45 mins. from Mt. Hood lodge and even closer to many lakes and rivers, it offers a lot of outdoor fun. Eastern Oregon is at your finger-tips also. You can check out the home scene on realtor.com and see if it tickles your fancy. However, you best be able to enjoy a lot more rain than being in southern Cal. The rain does give us the green land, rivers, and snow pack for Mt. Hood. People have many diff. incomes and needs, so this is but one idea. This is a much calmer and relaxed area than So. Cal. or even Beaverton Oregon. This low key town that offers peace and relaxing is only one of many places to live. Good luck finding that special place.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well congrats. on the retiring. I have just done that about a year ago. I have been looking for the same things to.

Not too big, not to small. It's a college town so that should be cool for your kids. Newport is really quiet, but there's nothing there for your kids. It's about 40 mins. from Corvallis.<br><b>References : </b><br> Corvallis is allright. Not too big, not to small. It’s a college town so that should be cool for your kids.

You have the smaller towns sirounding areas for good schools, there are lots of golf courses and your close to the mt and the ocean. Portland is Large so you have everything you will need or want and there are areas here that would be great for low key. Portland is a wonderful place to live there is public transportation for those who don't want to drive. We have great hospitals. I lived in small towns all my life and living in portland isn't as bad as i thought it has great parks. I don't know what else to say about Oregon or Portland its self I love it here. Portland is also close to Mt hood which has the best snow boarding, skiing and all the great llife for snow well thats what i was told<br><b>References : </b><br> Portland area is a good place to go.
