BEND OREGON REAL ESTATE

For one hundred years now, Bend, Oregon has become an enchanting and picturesque home to thousands.  First founded as a small logging community, Bend’s location just east of the Cascade Mountains served as the perfect resting stop for many wagon trains heading westward to the Willamette Valley.  Now, as the largest city in Central Oregon, it is clear that numerous travelers succumbed to the beauty and appeal of Bend, planting their own roots in this booming city.   

This once small mill town has evolved into the commercial, retail and service hubbub of Central Oregon.  Since the early 1980’s, tourism and technology have provided the area with immense economic growth.  Bend is now Oregon’s fastest growing high technology area. Residents of Bend enjoy job opportunities in a wide range of fields, from industry to farming to hospital services to computer engineering.   

While Bend has experienced rapid economic and population growth in recent decades, community leaders have made it a point to ensure this growth will only positively affect the value and sustainability of the city.  Citizens have used funds to expand the downtown area, add a new parkway system to Bend (which was completed in 2001) and make renovations to the Bend Airport, including new hangars and a new state-of-the art terminal.  In addition, Bend has maintained a solid public school system for its nearly eleven thousand K-12 students, with focuses on education and promoting community leadership.
