Coveted, Central Bend neighborhood close city parks, shopping and dining
On the eastern edge of downtown Bend, River West is a sought-after community beside the Deschutes River, its narrow, sidewalk-lined streets laid out in a grid and shaded by mature ponderosa pine and juniper trees. “Walkability is a theme for this neighborhood,” says Paul Frazier, Realtor for eXp Realty and Bend resident of 30 years. “You can walk to any block here, and there’ll be a yoga studio, restaurant, shop, you name it.” The historic Drake Park hosts annual holiday parades, while a mile south, Hayden Homes Amphitheater stages massive concerts. Many of the streets and early 20th-century houses here offer distant views of the Cascade Mountains.
Smaller homes with space to add on in River West
During Bend's early-1900s lumber industry boom, mill workers were provided with one- to two-bedroom Craftsman cottages that were built on large lots just west of the Deschutes River. Today many of these early 20th-century homes have been renovated, and most feature grassy front lawns, as well as fenced-in backyards with small cement patios; a one-bedroom starts at $700,000 while a two-bedroom near the river can cost as much as $1 million. Frazier says that many homebuyers here turn these properties into Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and rent them out to students from nearby Oregon State University-Cascades and Central Oregon Community College. Further west, two-story, three-bedroom contemporary 2010s and 2020s homes sit close together in pine-tree-covered subdivisions like Discovery West; featuring flat steel roofs, large windows, well-manicured backyards and up to three-car garages, these homes range from $1.6 million to $2.2 million. Residents can expect to pay up to $30 in monthly HOA fees.
Some residents of River West live in early 20th century cottages.
Craftsman-style homes can be found scattered throughout the River West neighborhood of Bend.
