Making a Life Here
Port Orford is a unique place to live - an authentic small town with no strip malls, no fast food, no stop lights. Life here feels slower and more relaxed than elsewhere. Partly that is due to our size, with only 1200 people; partly to our natural environment. We still have large undeveloped areas where you can hike and never see another person for hours.
And to us, a traffic jam is two cars waiting to turn left at a stop sign.
