Located about 4 miles east of the downtown, Larkspur is well-kept suburban area close to nearby shop
Located about 4 miles east of the downtown, Larkspur is well-kept suburban area close to nearby shops and restaurants. “It’s a quiet neighborhood with a good community,” says Peggy Kimball, Realtor for John L. Scott Real Estate and longtime Bend resident. Neighbors are reminded by the Larkspur Neighborhood Association to shovel sidewalks that border their property during snowstorms, protect their homes from any possible wildfire emergencies and participate in street clean-up projects. Houses here sit on close to 1-acre lots and vary in style and age with competitive prices. Along with proximity to local schools, folks in this central Bend area enjoy being close to nature. “You can do outdoor activities regardless if it’s winter, summer, spring or fall. There’s always things to do. That’s probably the biggest draw,” Kimball says.
