Devils Lake, Devil River and the Oregon Coast
Situated on the northern shore, Neotsu encompasses a peninsula surrounded by Devils Lake on all sides. With the beach only a short drive away and The Devil River coursing through the neighborhood, Neotsu is a haven for water recreation. It is also within close range of several restaurants and shops, letting residents enjoy the views without compromising for downtown noise. "The unique thing is that you’re in the county so taxes are lower and you’re within a couple minutes of Lincoln City for all the shopping and dining, plus there's the casino, golfing and outlet malls. You’re really close to town but you do have a quieter country feel,” says Amy Graham, a Principal Broker for Taylor & Taylor Realty Company who has sold 11 homes in Neotsu. "It's often warmer and wind-protected. It’s outside of the fog line so it’s sunnier when the marine layer of fog gets pulled in the summertime."
Devils Lake is a great place to fish in the Neotsu area.

Lakes, beaches and hiking trails
At the very tip of Neotsu’s peninsula, Sand Point Park provides a small sandy beach. Dotted with plenty of shady trees and several outdoor tables and grills, swimmers can relax with a picnic after having fun in the water. Three miles from the neighborhood is Lincoln City Beach, where visitors can swim, fish or go beachcombing for agate and shells. From mid-October to Memorial Day, some lucky beachgoers can even find treasure around the beach. In partnership with local artisans, the Finders Keepers program has “float fairies” (resident volunteers) place colorful glass orbs all over Lincoln City Beach daily. Whoever finds each one gets to take them home. For folks who also enjoy hiking, the Knoll Open Space Trailhead is located a little less than three miles from Neotsu. With 35 acres and a difficult three-mile loop, hikers who rise to the challenge can enjoy great views of the Pacific Coastline and Devils Lake at the top of the knoll. Also, Roads End Point is great for walks on the beach and exploring the tidepools.

Homes with views of Devils Lake
Ranch-styles, Craftsmans and cottages can all be found in Neotsu’s residential areas. Heidi Rogers, who has 11 years of home-selling experience and is a Principal Broker for Sotheby's International Realty, adds: "There are lakefront homes with docks and cottages with a cute, older style that date back to when Neotsu was a place where people would build a beach home in the forties." Many homes, painted in light neutrals and soft blues, were constructed at a single level and have large spacious front lawns and garages that can fit one or two cars each. Two-bedroom homes without lake views go for $340,000 - $515,000 while three- and four-bedroom lakeview homes can range anywhere between $690,000 up to $1 million. Home values have been steadily appreciating since 2019.
