Why Are Homes on Bend's West Side So Expensive?
Bend is an expensive place to buy a home. Part of the reason is that it offers a combination many people are looking for: mountains, sunshine, clean water, and easy access to the outdoors.
But why is Bend's west side often even more expensive?
One reason is simple: scarcity.
Look at a map. Bend can continue growing in several directions, but westward growth is limited by the Deschutes National Forest and Tumalo Creek.
At the same time, many buyers want to be on the west side, closer to the Cascades, trails, mountain biking, skiing and other outdoor recreation.

Tetherow is newer, with contemporary architecture and a very distinct high desert feel. There are fewer trees, and the landscaping reflects the dry Central Oregon environment. It also has more of a resort atmosphere, with golf, restaurants, lodging, and a livelier social scene.

Why Northwest Crossing Holds Its Value
One of the questions I hear from buyers is, "Why are homes in Northwest Crossing consistently in demand?"
There isn't one answer. Instead, there are several reasons that help explain why this neighborhood continues to attract buyers year after year.
Walkability
Northwest Crossing was designed so that many everyday destinations are within easy reach. Restaurants, coffee shops, parks, schools, and trails are woven into the neighborhood, making daily life more convenient and enjoyable.
