Southwest Bend

The fastest Bachelor commute in Bend — middle-market with luxury enclaves inside

A wide swath of southwest Bend that runs from established 90s neighborhoods west to the Century West border. The throughline: the best river trail access points in the city, a quick run to Mt. Bachelor, and a downtown commute under 10 minutes. Mid-market homes are the norm, with luxury custom builds dropped in along the western edge — and Tetherow Resort sitting just across the line in Century West.
