Westside Bend Real Estate
The Downtown and Westside areas of Bend Oregon offer homeowners a unique living experience. The west side of Bend is desirable for home owners for a variety of reasons.
- The Deschutes river- The Deschutes flows through the west side and downtown Bend. The river has a bike/walking path along most of the river, and has many parks along its banks.
- Convenient Location- Many areas on the west side of Bend are within walking distance to Downtown, Shopping, and a variety of Restaurants.
- Recreation-Recreation can be found within minutes of homes on the west side of Bend. Whether you like Mt. Biking, Fishing, Hiking, Golfing, or Skiing, this area offers all of these activities within a short drive from home.
- Old Growth-You’ll find an abundance of old Ponderosa Pine trees on Bend’s west side. While there are some newer subdivisions, the “old” west side is mostly older homes on beautiful lots with mature landscaping.
- Cascade Mountains- Many homes on this side of Bend have fantastic views of the Cascade Mountains.
If you’re planning a trip to Bend, make sure to take a drive around the Downtown and West Side areas. If you have any questions about the area, please contact me.
I love the Bend downtown area. Great houses, dining, and atmosphere.
I have not been to Bend yet, but always wanted to go. I am told by anyone who’s been there that it is absolutely gorgeous, and that it’s becoming a popular place to retire. Thanks for the tips on the parts to visit — I definitely want to come out there!
It has been some time since I have been to Bend, OR. I live in Boise, ID and I just hate to leave. Bend is probably almost half the population of Boise is now so just with that can make it a more desirable place to live since people are looking to get out of the “big cities”. Having a river running through the city is pretty cool as well.
I have to admit, I have never heard of Bend, OR prior to reading this. It sounds like a wonderful place to live with all it’s natural amenities. I am adding this to my long list of places to visit.
