Century West

West-side luxury — custom homes on real acreage with Bachelor at the back door

Quietly the most expensive neighborhood in Bend. A west-side enclave that includes Tetherow Resort along with custom-home pockets along Century Drive — 3,000+ sf homes on near-half-acre lots, with Phil's Trail Network in the backyard and the fastest run to Mt. Bachelor of any neighborhood inside the city.
