Bend Neighborhood
South-side living, Old Mill in your backyard
West of Brookswood, this neighborhood mixes 1990s ranch homes with newer infill — and gives you a five-minute walk to the Old Mill District's restaurants, river, and Hayden Homes Amphitheater. The south-side address with the best access to actually-fun things.
River trail walk before work. Lunch at Worthy Brewing. Saturday at the Old Mill — REI, the river, lunch on the patio. Summer concert at Hayden Homes without driving. Sunday morning ride up to Tumalo Falls, home for brunch.
$1.1M — a real premium reflecting Old Mill walkability and river access. Smaller lots than most neighborhoods at this price point, but the location is hard to replicate.
About 7 minutes by car. The Old Mill District is within walking distance for most of the neighborhood. Mt. Bachelor is 23 minutes for skiing, Redmond Airport (RDM) is 28 minutes.
Yes — move-up buyers who'd actually use the Old Mill, downsizers wanting walkable access to riverfront amenities, and anyone who wants Mt. Bachelor commuter access fit well here.
Mid-size newer homes averaging around 2,300 square feet on tight 0.1-acre lots. The trade-off for big lots is direct access to Old Mill amenities and the river trail.
Walking distance to the Old Mill — meaning REI, restaurants, the river trail, and Hayden Homes summer concerts are all foot-accessible. Plus a straight shot up Century Drive to Bachelor.
You give up big lots, NorthWest Crossing aesthetics, and custom-build finishes. In exchange you get walking distance to the Old Mill, river trail access from the neighborhood, and a straight shot up Century Drive to Bachelor.
