Orchard District Homes for Rent

Orchard District in Bend, Oregon, is a historically rich neighborhood that once housed an apple orchard in the 1930s. Today, it features well-maintained midcentury homes, small businesses, and parks with some original fruit trees. The area is known for its active neighborhood association, which hosts picnics in Orchard Park, and its proximity to Pilot Butte, offering scenic hikes and views of the Cascade Mountains. Residents can walk a mile to Downtown Bend for monthly art walks and events. Homes here range from mid-20th-century ranch-style houses with fenced backyards to early 2000s ranch-style and new traditional homes with veranda-covered patios. The neighborhood also includes late 20th-century condos and contemporary homes in nearby subdivisions like Petrosa, which offer community amenities such as a pool and fitness center. Local parks include the 114-acre Pilot Butte Park, 22-acre Juniper Park with a swim and fitness center, and 3-acre Orchard Park. The neighborhood offers convenient shopping at Safeway and unique experiences like the last Blockbuster video store and the Midtown Yacht Club's food carts. The intersection of major highways nearby contributes to traffic congestion, but the upcoming Hawthorne Overcrossing aims to improve pedestrian and bicycle access. Downtown Bend is a mile away, and St. Charles Bend Hospital is a 2-mile drive east. Redmond Municipal Airport is 15 miles south.
