Oregon Coast Real
Estate Watch: Condos Continue to Change Seaside
|
Seaview Condominiums at the Prom |
(Seaside, Oregon) – First West Realty of Seaside
and Portland is helping to change Seaside in some distinctive ways. It’s
responsible for two new condo projects in the north Oregon coast resort
town. One comes with 70 rooms, the other with ten units, and both promise
to add significantly to the local economy as well as provide an income
for owners.
The first is the stunning Seaview Condominiums at the Prom,
which has just been completed. It is a soaring oceanfront property with
enormous units still available – including one 2,300-sqare-foot
townhome.
The other is Rivertide Suites, a vast, 70-unit condo/hotel,
where buyers also receive revenue from their units being rented during
the year as upscale hotel rooms. It opened its doors to guests and owners
on August 22.

Both promise to increase the city’s tax revenue and
its economy in other ways, while the Seaview Condominiums at the Prom
also holds the possibility of income for the owner by putting their unit
into the area’s vacation rental pool.
Three condos at the Seaview are still for sale. Two are
single level units that are 1,400 square feet, priced at $839,000. The
townhome has two levels and sells for $1,400,000. Both have expansive
ocean views, large outdoor patios and immediate access to Seaside’s
Promenade, along with dozens of other amenities.
Each unit features enormous windows that were designed
with scenic ocean panoramas in mind, allowing for no obstruction of the
view. Kitchen and bathrooms have granite surfaces, the best in appliances,
balconies or patios with gas grills, and quality construction with superior
soundproofing materials.

The building boasts cedar shake siding on the exterior
and a modern design that imparts luxury but blends in beautifully with
the beach surroundings. There is a large solarium, exercise room, spa
and a recreation room that comes with a gaming table and pool table. Owners
also have access to spacious storage units, about 4x6, where they could
store a kayak.
There is sheltered, keyed and secured parking with two
parking spots per condominium.
Principal
partner Les Bick, of First West Realty, said one owner has already planned
to rent his out periodically as a vacation home. “You can go through
an outside agency or rent them out yourself,” Bick said. “But
in either case, it means a source of income. Historically, ocean front
property commands the highest rental rates of all properties.”
Bick
added appreciation of property on the north Oregon coast is exceptional.
“The north coast has consistently ranked first to third place in
the highest appreciation of the entire Portland-coastal property surveys,”
he said. “18 percent to 23 percent yearly increases in value are
not unusual.”
