Newberg hasn't gotten it all 0.5 rating By sierravet ( May 17, 2018) Hello, dear people who choose to move here in newberg oregon. As you know we got all the amenities and dream places to go, but unfortunately getting hired on for a job here is tough. Hope you're rich in money because the houses here grow mold quicker then you can blink and are 10 ...Read More x more expensive then living elsewhere. So I highly suggest you and your lovely families live where it's cheaper, many young adults like me are low low income because of prices here. Have a good life! Read Less
Newberg: A Beautiful Portland Suburb 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I have been living in Newberg for years and I love it here. Since it's a short drive from Portland, you will find many opportunities in Newberg when it comes to finding a good job and going to a quality college. There are a lot of young professionals in the area and there are man ...Read More y opportunities to be part of a start-up too.

One thing that Newberg has a plethora of is public parks. Also, Tillamook State Forest is close and is probably the best area in Newberg. If you like to go hiking or camping, it's a great spot to check out.

Homes here in Newberg can be a little on the high side and there are some affluent neighborhoods with high-end homes. The downtown area has a good amount of stores and restaurants to choose from as well. You probably won't have to go far unless you're looking for a specific store or a specialty restaurant. Read Less
