Warrenton market data.

Warrenton is one of the largest incorporated cities on the North Oregon Coast by land area — 17.66 square miles total, including the merged former community of Hammond (disincorporated and merged with Warrenton in December 1991). The city’s population of 6,277 at the 2020 Census makes it the second-largest city in Clatsop County after Astoria.

Warrenton’s housing stock of approximately 2,715 units is meaningfully younger than Astoria’s or Gearhart’s — 26.9% of housing was built after 2000, reflecting steady growth along US-101 and the retail corridor. The city has a strong year-round resident base, with an 8.0% vacancy rate and 58.7% owner-occupancy — both more typical of a working city than a resort community.

Market dynamics are shaped by proximity to Astoria (4 miles east), the Fort Stevens State Park land base within city limits, and the ongoing expansion of the US-101 commercial corridor. Market statistics shift quarter-to-quarter — the snapshot at right uses live RMLS® data via our MLS integration.
