“They can always make more of anything, but they stopped making land a long time ago.”

Situated on the eastern edge of the Cascade Range along the Deschutes River, Bend joins forested mountain highlands and high desert plateaus, offering a diverse range of scenery and outdoor activities. The largest city in Central Oregon, Bend is the commercial, recreation and social center of the tri-county region and also serves as the county seat of Deschutes County. It covers 32 square miles and sits at an elevation of 3,625 feet. Bend is noted for its scenic setting and year-round recreational activities.

Central Oregon is a bustling hub for outdoor enthusiasts.  Right near the Cascade Lakes highway, Smith Rock State Park, the Deschutes River, several prominent volcanoes, it’s easy for the visitor to find anything to do ranging from world class rock climbing, paddle boarding, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, the list goes on!

Not to mention the enthusiasm for good craft beer and delicious food to go with it.  There are more breweries per capita in Bend than anywhere in the country! The food movement has steadily been gaining traction for years, and the region now boasts 3 farmers markets in Bend, and one for each of the several surrounding towns. The restaurants crave locally grown food to satisfy the increasing demand from customers, and are eager to support local farmers like east side's Freedom Rock Farms.

Several organizations, including Central Oregon Locavore and the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance strive to support the local food system in many different ways and are worth checking out. Central Oregon is prolific in diverse farming operations and has a strong lean towards meat production operations. Due to the short and unpredictable growing season, farmers will often state that if you learn to grow food in Central Oregon, then you can do it anywhere.

The spring and fall, while often cold at night with occasional snows, are quite warm during the day.  The dry climate allows for extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the year, with extremely hot temperatures in July and August.  But don’t be fooled- it HAS snowed in July! Bring your jacket.

Living on the Eastside means that one of Bend’s most popular lookouts, Pilot Butte, is right out your back door. Hike to the top and take in views of Mount Bachelor, the Three Sisters and the Cascade Range in the distance. Finish your workout for the day by heading down the street to Juniper Swim & Fitness. This award-winning facility offers over 150 group fitness classes per week as well as a 3,000 sq. ft. fitness center and weight room and three pools including a 50-meter Olympic-sized pool.

At the Cascade Village Shopping Center off Highway 97, you’ll find everything from kitchen pantry staples to more exotic fare like imported cheese and wine. Cascade Village also has those must-have stores like Trader Joe’s, Home Depot and Target.

St. Charles Medical Center, one of the best healthcare facilities in Oregon, is a short drive from most Eastside neighborhoods. There are also a number of brand-new schools in this area, and many can be reached on paved footpaths and sidewalks from neighboring developments. Parks abound on the eastside, including the 159-acre Pine Nursery Park which features soccer fields, baseball facilities, picnic shelter, a disc golf course, and the 14-acre Bob Wenger Memorial Off-Leash Area.
