Bend Neighborhood
Orchard District
Downtown-adjacent, more house than Old Bend, real character
The first-ring neighborhood north and east of downtown — a mix of 1940s-1970s homes around Pilot Butte's western base. About half the price of NorthWest Crossing, with downtown still in walking distance and the trail at Pilot Butte right out the back door.
