Larkspur

Bend's most affordable family entry point — park-centered, school-close

Anchored by Larkspur Park's playfields and the Bend Senior Center, this east-side neighborhood is where first-time buyers and growing families land in Bend without overextending. The infrastructure is here — schools, parks, pediatricians, fields — at the lowest median price of any of Bend's 13 neighborhoods.
