Friendly neighbors in this growing Bend suburb

Located 5 miles south of downtown Bend with distant views of pine tree-covered Bessie Butte, Southeast Bend is a quiet suburb with friendly neighbors. “The community vibe is strong,” says Josh Coccagna, general manager at the Bend Golf Club and neighborhood resident. “You’re more than likely friends with your neighbor, and you probably have neighborhood BBQs pretty frequently.” Since the early 2000s, the area has expanded from empty forestland to several subdivisions with community pools and playgrounds. In 2021, Bend City Council approved the Southeast Area Plan with the hopes that property owners annex their land to make room for more schools, shops and businesses in the years to come. Families with young children are drawn here for the proximity to city schools and wide street space to ride bikes. Retirees here enjoy spending afternoons practicing their swing at the member-only Bend Golf Club and grabbing dinner at its Ponderosa Grill.

Modern Craftsman homes on tree-lined streets

Single-family homes in Southeast Bend sit in asphalt-paved cul-de-sacs shaded by ponderosa pine and maple trees and lined with sidewalks. Located on the western border and neighborhood center, late 20th-century ranch-style and two-story modern Craftsman homes feature vinyl siding and small front porches. These properties range between $250,000 and $550,000 and offer wooden fenced-in backyards with veranda-covered stone patios. Early 21st-century new traditional houses are scattered throughout the neighborhood and priced from $700,000 to $1 million. These homes feature spacious back decks that lead out to well-manicured lawns surrounded by groves of pine trees. Several are situated in gated communities like Mountain High and Stonegate close to community pools, pickleball courts and nearby golf courses like Bend Golf Club and Old Back Nine. Homeowners here can expect to pay up to $200 in monthly HOA fees. New subdivisions like Hidden Hills and Stone Creek house contemporary homes from the early 2020s, with slanted roofs and wooden front entryways. These houses typically range between $650,000 and $930,000, and residents are within walking distance of community playgrounds and trails.

Entrepreneurship at Caldera High

The area is served by Bend-La Pine School District, rated an overall B-minus from Niche. Kids here start at R.E. Jewell Elementary and continue to High Desert Middle, which both score an overall B-minus. Opened in 2021 near the eastern border, the unrated Caldera High gives students opportunities to learn entrepreneurship and engineering skills through its Career Technical Education program. There’s also a long list of student organizations to join like Pride and Mountain Biking Club.

Easy access to and from Southeast Bend

U.S. Route 97 on the neighborhood's western border connects residents to the rest of the city. By the mid-2020s, the city plans to build the state and federal-funded Hawthorne Overcrossing, a bicycle and pedestrian bridge crossing over U.S. 97, giving cyclists and pedestrians a safer route to downtown and other areas. People can board Cascades East Transit buses on Murphy Road in the north and Southeast 15th Street in the east, but it’s mostly a car-dependent community. St. Charles Bend Hospital is 7 miles north, and Redmond Municipal Airport is a 22-mile drive north via U.S. 97.

Premiere playing at 100-year-old Bend Golf Club

The private Bend Golf Club, opened in 1925, is another major draw for homebuyers in the area. Folks can hit the green on the club’s 18-hole, Ponderosa-pine-covered course or check out the indoor saltwater pool or indoor pickleball courts in the on-site athletic center. The 37-acre Alpenglow Park is located near the northeast corner and features a sprayground area, 2 miles of paved walking paths and a handful of colorful bouldering walls for rock climbing adventurists. On hot Oregon summer days, folks can take a dip or launch their kayaks into the Deschutes River at the 22-acre Farewell Bend Park 5 miles northwest of the community.

Spicy curry at Taj Palace and shoe deals at nearby outlets

While the majority of Southeast Bend is made up of residential housing, locals are within a few miles of small businesses and eateries. For groceries, Safeway is near the northwestern corner of the area, and Walmart Supercenter is a block further north. The nearby Taj Palace Indian Cuisine serves a daily lunch and dinner buffet of spicy curries and appetizers, and residents can visit locally owned Pour House Grill for southern comfort food and drink specials. Bend Factory Outlets is a 2-mile drive north of Southeast Bend featuring retail clothing chains like Nike and Maurices, and the historic Old Mill District is another popular spot for shopping a few miles further north. Locals can check out dozens of boutiques and businesses like Vanilla Urban Threads, selling men’s and women’s fashion, and Saxon’s Fine Jewelers, offering designer diamond pieces.

Smoked meats and live music at the Big Bend BBQ Festival

In June, the annual two-day Big Bend BBQ Festival draws local and regional restaurant vendors to Alpenglow Park; residents set up lawn chairs and blankets on the park’s grassy lawn and snack on smoked meats while local musical artists perform at the outdoor stage. Every October, families can browse rows of art vendor tents along Wall Street and visit face-painting booths at the three-day-long Bend Fall Festival downtown.

Keeping the surrounding forest healthy during controlled burns

Southeast Bend is more likely to experience wildfires than other Bend neighborhoods. Deschutes County completes controlled burns in the spring and fall to reduce the threat. Although this process maintains the health of the surrounding forest, folks in Southeast Bend may experience lingering smoke at night and early in the morning during the burns. A Bend Fire Department Station is also located in the neighborhood.
