Central Bend area packed with things to do
Just south of Old Bend and centered on the Deschutes River, Southern Crossing is home to the city's beloved Old Mill District, a popular destination for local shopping and dining. “This neighborhood's for people who want to be close to the river, and they’ve gotta want to be close to downtown,” says Rocki Beebe, broker for RE/MAX Key Properties. Homes here are modern and well kept, and the local scenery includes distant views of the snowcapped Cascade Mountains, and dozens of bikers and joggers making their daily treks along the waterside Deschutes River Trail. Beebe says residents enjoy the neighborhood's proximity to Hayden Amphitheater, which is popular for its summertime concerts. “A lot of people float the river, which goes right by Hayden. People will tie rafts together here and listen to the music while they float,” she says.
Modern Craftsman and well-kept roads in Southern Crossing
Along the neighborhood’s well-paved, sidewalk-lined residential streets, cul-de-sacs are dotted with ponderosa pine trees, and flower-filled roundabouts help ease traffic. Most homes in Southern Crossing are large, two-story single-family residences, and many are used as second homes. To the east, early 21st-century Craftsman-style homes feature front-yard rock gardens and small, fenced-in backyards; prices range from $530,000 to $700,000. To the west, closer to the Deschutes River, larger homes built between the mid-2010s to 2020s have flat roofs, wood-and-brick exteriors, long driveways and wide front porches; second-floor wood balconies overlook the river and distant mountains. Some of these homes set closer to the river are within walking distance of wooded parks like Blakely and Woodriver, and all range from $800,000 to $1.2 million.

Southern Crossing residents have access to tons of events in the area. For instance, each December, the annual Holiday Lights Paddle Parade features Santa-hat-clad locals in colorfully lit-up kayaks, paddling their merry way along the Deschutes River. In May 2024, the Old Mill District hosted its first Central Oregon Taco Fest, spearheaded by locally owned restaurant Hola! Mexican; hundreds of locals gathered on the grassy lawn near the Old Mill Bridge to enjoy taco trucks, live Latin music and chihuahua races. This event is set to return in May of 2025.

Easy access to downtown Bend

Southern Crossing is a car-dependent community, but Cascades East Transit buses make stops throughout the neighborhood and many residents bike and walk near the Deschutes River. St. Charles Bend Hospital is a 5-mile drive northeast, and Redmond Municipal Airport is 19 miles north via U.S. 97.
