River West

Walk to Drake Park, the river, and downtown — all from your front door

The residential west-of-the-river district between downtown and Summit West. River-adjacent, with established mid-century homes and newer infill, and Drake Park, the Deschutes, and the downtown core all in walking distance. The neighborhood for buyers who want true downtown access without paying the NorthWest Crossing premium.

A Day in River West

Morning walk through Drake Park to the Deschutes. Coffee at Lone Pine on the way back. Lunch downtown at Spork or Wild Rose, no car needed. Afternoon work-from-home with the windows open. Evening dinner walking to Drake or 10 Below. Sunday morning ride along the river trail. The kind of Bend life you can do on foot.
