Unlike many cities that flounder in the face of rapid population and economic growth, Bend city leaders are taking careful and deliberate measures to secure and foster a high quality of life and sustainability that makes Bend, Oregon real estate some of the most desirable in the nation.

An aggressive $22 million urban renewal district has been established to expand Bends already bustling historic downtown. The project provides additional parking, new building construction, and the renovation of existing historic structures. Beyond downtown, purposeful urban growth planning has produced dozens of successful shopping areas, business districts, and plenty of Bend real estate opportunities, including homes in the Old Mill District, housing on Bends Westside, and, most recently, in the neighborhoods of Bends Eastside (east of Hwy 97 and the new Bend Parkway).

Along with Bends newest residential developments and most affordable housing, the Eastside also boasts Bend, Oregons largest concentration of commercial and retail shopping centers, as well the regional health care complex that includes St. Charles Hospital, Bend Memorial Clinic, and numerous private practices. In the northern part of the city, commercial and retail development is also expanding rapidly.

Central Oregons premier business parks, Shevlin and Mill Point, are hotspots for the regions growing technology companies and related industries. The area is also just north of Bend's newest bridge, the Southern River Crossing, which crosses the Deschutes River between southeast and southwest Bend.

Thanks to the influx of economic and cultural development Bend has seen in recent years, our communitys long-standing character and beauty has had an opportunity to truly grow and flourish.

The arts, music, and nightlife scenes are rapidly growing and diversifying; though, fortunately, the small-town friendliness and sense of community of Bends earlier years has yet to escape our 75,000 residents. Cascade mountain peaks, the rushing waters of the Deschutes and Metolius Rivers, and the stunning cliffs of Smith Rock are only minutes away. Breathtaking Crater Lake is less than 2.5 hours from Bend, and major Oregon cities like Eugene and Portland are within a scenic 2-3 hour drive. Even the beaches and ocean tides of the Oregon Coast can be reached in less than four hours!

The wild fish of the Deschutes have the rare circumstance of being a truly indigenous species. They were not introduced to the river by man, but are natural denizens of the river. Throughout the year you'll be challenged by native "red-sides" ranging in size from one to two pounds of wily, hard fighting trout, and from midsummer to late fall you can experience the ultimate fly-fishing adventure as you battle the Deschutes' world-renowned wild steelhead.

Of course fishing on the Deschutes is just the beginning. Whether you choose to embark on an exhilarating rafting trip through the rivers white water rapids or enjoy a leisurely float on a tube or raft through the Old Mill District and Downtown Bend, youll never tire of the rivers beauty and opportunities for adventure. If you time it right, you might be able to hit the slow moving part of the river at the same time that one of the many outdoor summer concerts are going on at the Les Schwab Amphitheater and enjoy Bend's nationally recognized concert series.
