I have no opinion about Florence but if you want a gated development there is one to the north, "South View".

As mentioned earlier living on the coast is not my cup of tea but if you must take a look at Brookings and Gold Beach. The weather is decent and you are not far from Crescent city.

There are many gated communities in Florence besides that one.

If the OP, who hasn't even been here in over two-and-a-half months, were interested in such a list (and from the OP's posts, I highly doubt it) he/she could get that information from a real estate agent. They are numerous here, and I don't have them memorized.

^There are way more than that — like several times over. Surface Google searches don't tell the whole story. Anyone who's actually interested, which no one in this thread seems to be, should contact a local real estate agent.

Florence and a few other places has the added element of a constantly revolving door of out-of-state retirees, many of whom immediately start complaining the moment they arrive because things were different in California.

Here's the latest Florence nonsense: a developer is building a few high-end homes up by the golf course, and the crying about how these aren't going to be affordable for the average resident has already reached fever pitch. In the meantime, another developer has plans for some apartments and single-family homes in another part of town that, while not specifically designated as low-income properties, will help ease the housing crunch and possibly be affordable for some of the blue-collar families, but the crying and screaming from Florence "residents" has been nearly nonstop since this project began because it will increase traffic on the main road where the gated communities are located, and there has been a huge community effort to try to get this project derailed.

Meanwhile, across town in a more low-rent area, someone has built 12 smallish homes for low-income buyers, and they look like a pretty good deal for those with modest incomes, but they're having trouble finding enough applicants for these properties.

Some poor sap is trying to start a Burger King franchise on Highway 101, and true to form, the transplants are crying to beat the band because it's "not what they moved to Florence for." These people will support any cute little Bay Street bistro with precious, overpriced food and nowhere to park, but heaven forbid they should have to drive past a Burger King to get there. I don't eat fast food myself and won't be patronizing the new Burger King, but I'm not interested in trying to deny someone else the opportunity to make a family-wage living — it's my understanding that these franchisees do fairly well. And the local teenagers can always use another employment option. But the hypocrisy reaches new levels because many of those opposing the Burger King are the same people salivating at the very mention of In and Out Burger, another California scourge.

I am moving to Washington and won't miss much about Florence.
Newport to Whidbey Island, last year. Half the rain, no state income tax. Couldn't be happier.

as have 250 OR and CA families / month for the last 20 yrs (to only ONE of 39 WA counties)

Plenty of 'extensions' of CA in every western lower 48 state, you will NOT be escaping that.

North Dakota is fairly free of CA exiles. Nearby MN and WI have plenty of them.

Yeah, I didn't say the reason I'm moving to Washington is to escape the CA transplants; I want some horse property and to be closer to SEATAC. Nonetheless, no matter where I move in WA, the percentage of them is going to be less than Florence, so that's just icing on the cake.
