Florence's newest neighborhood is taking shape — and three move-in ready homes are waiting.

If you've been watching the Oregon Coast housing market, you've probably noticed a familiar pattern: charming towns, rising demand, and not nearly enough inventory. That's exactly what makes Three Mile Prairie worth paying attention to. Tucked just off Highway 101 in Florence, Oregon, this new construction community is delivering something the coast has been missing — thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient homes at price points that actually make sense.

Three new listings just hit the market. Here's a closer look.

5299 Maple St — The Corner Lot with Room to Breathe

3 Bed · 2 Bath · 1,056 SqFt · $350,000

This is the largest floor plan of the three, and the only 3-bedroom currently available in the subdivision. Situated on a corner lot with dune and tree views, it offers a sense of space that's hard to come by at this price on the Oregon Coast.

Inside, the contemporary single-story layout flows naturally from living area to kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, a walk-in shower in the primary bath, and energy-efficient heating throughout. A detached single-car garage and fenced yard round out the package.

If you're a small family looking for coastal living without the coastal premium — or an investor eyeing short-term rental potential (it's allowed here) — this one checks a lot of boxes.

5287 Maple St — Smart Living in a Smaller Footprint

2 Bed · 2 Bath · 864 SqFt · $340,000

Don't let the square footage fool you. At 864 square feet, this home makes every inch count. The open floor plan centers around a kitchen island with stainless steel appliances — the kind of layout that feels significantly bigger than the numbers suggest.

Both bedrooms are carpeted and comfortable, each served by one of the home's two full bathrooms. The fenced yard and covered porch give you outdoor space without the maintenance burden, and the energy-efficient systems keep monthly costs low.

At $340,000, this is the most accessible entry point into Three Mile Prairie. Ideal for retirees looking to downsize near the coast, first-time buyers, or anyone who values simplicity and efficiency over excess square footage.

1437 53rd St — The Standout with a 2-Car Garage

2 Bed · 2 Bath · 1,107 SqFt · $360,000

This one has been on the market the longest — originally listed at $370,000 and recently reduced to $360,000 — and it's arguably the best value of the three. At 1,107 square feet with a dedicated dining area, separate utility room, and a 2-car detached garage, it offers a level of livability the other floor plans don't.

The layout includes a proper dining space off the kitchen, which is a meaningful upgrade for anyone who actually uses their home (read: most people). Views of dunes and trees from a level lot with a private patio complete the picture.

Short-term rentals are permitted, and there's already a virtual tour available for remote buyers who want to walk through before making the trip.

Why Three Mile Prairie

Florence sits at the intersection of everything that draws people to the Oregon Coast — temperate climate, access to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and a small-town pace of life that Portland refugees and California transplants are increasingly seeking out. But unlike many coastal communities, Florence still has room to grow.

Three Mile Prairie is part of that growth. The subdivision is building out with new construction homes that feature modern conveniences — ENERGY STAR systems, fiber cement exteriors, concrete perimeter foundations — while keeping prices well below what you'd expect for new builds this close to the Pacific.

Community amenities include a private dog park and a planned community garden. The HOA runs just $156 per year — not per month — covering road maintenance and shared spaces. All three homes accept FHA and VA financing, which opens the door for buyers who might otherwise be priced out of coastal Oregon.

The Details at a Glance

All homes are new construction (2025), single-story, and located in Florence, OR 97439. Public water and sewer. Paved roads. Siuslaw School District.

Interested?

These homes won't sit forever. Florence's inventory remains tight, and new construction at this price point on the Oregon Coast is genuinely rare. Whether you're relocating, investing, or just ready to stop renting and start building equity somewhere beautiful, Three Mile Prairie is worth a serious look.
