I’ve lived in Gaston for 25 years. We moved from NE pdx on 80 acres. We have beautiful lake and mountain views. We don’t think we could live in the city again. But living rural you need to be able to tackle problems that come up like the well or septic.
yes, many underestimate what owning acreage is all about. Your property sounds amazing! Hard to go back to the city once you've had a taste of acreage.
Yamhill does NOT have an adequate water supply to accommodate more homes. We were at level 2 water restriction this year and it wasn’t the first. The city council vetoed a new housing development due to this urgent issue. The planning commission voted no on the capacity to build more houses. Yamhill’s fire district can’t answer the calls now as needed. We don’t have a sufficient volunteer base. Don’t move here!
Gaston does not have a Human Bean, we do have a fantastic coffee shop but is not the human bean, just better. We also no longer have a libary. Hagg lake is not the only thing Gaston is known for. Also races in banks are Saturday nights. I get what you're trying to do, but it sounds a lot like mockery of our rural communities.

Wow, I live across the river in Vancouver and guessed all 5 towns correctly
@@SRUrke777 great job!
Glad they didn't suggest Vancouver!
Don't overlook Amity as another rural town in the area. Similar to Yamhill, not as big as Carlton but closer to Salem if you need to travel south.
