What you need to know about living in Bend, oregon

NEXT

Bend offers a high quality of life, but it’s important to know that the cost of living here reflects that. Housing is the biggest factor—home prices tend to be higher than the national average, especially in neighborhoods close to trails, schools, or with mountain views. Utilities, groceries, and healthcare are generally on par with other desirable West Coast towns.
That said, many buyers relocating from areas like Los Angeles, Seattle, or the Bay Area find Bend’s lifestyle to be a worthwhile—and often more affordable—trade-off. I’ll help you understand where your budget goes furthest and how to prioritize what matters most in your move.

MOVING TO Bend, Oregon

Bend is a town that invites you to live fully—outdoors, downtown, and everywhere in between. From paddleboarding on the Deschutes River to skiing Mt. Bachelor, there’s adventure in every season. Locals love hiking the Cascade Lakes trails, biking Phil’s Trail System, and catching live music at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater. Downtown Bend and the Old Mill District are packed with restaurants, shops, and art galleries that give the city its laid-back yet vibrant energy. Whether you're sipping craft beer at a riverside brewery, exploring farmer’s markets, or soaking in a hot spring, life in Bend is anything but boring.

Things To Do In Bend

MOVING TO Central Oregon

NEXT

If you’re coming from Los Angeles, Seattle, or the Bay Area, Bend traffic will feel like a breath of fresh air. While it’s grown over the years, we’re still a small city without major congestion. Most locals can get across town in 15–20 minutes—even during peak hours.

That said, summer and holiday weekends can bring a surge in visitors, especially around downtown and the Old Mill District. I always help my clients choose homes with location in mind—whether you’re commuting, hitting the trails, or looking for that just-right mix of quiet and convenience.

Bend is part of the Bend-La Pine School District, one of the largest and most respected in Oregon.

With a focus on academic achievement, wellness, and real-world learning, the district serves over 30 schools—including neighborhood elementary schools, well-ranked middle and high schools, and magnet programs like real-world learning at Realms or STEM-focused Bend Tech Academy. Families relocating to Bend often appreciate the mix of strong academics, walkable school neighborhoods, and active parent communities.

Relocating to a new town is about more than just unpacking boxes—it’s about finding your people. In Bend, that’s easier than you might think. Whether it’s chatting with neighbors on the trail, volunteering at local events, joining a fitness class at Larkspur Community Center, or showing up at First Friday art walks downtown, there are plenty of ways to plug into the community.
Many of my clients moving from bigger cities are surprised by how welcoming and down-to-earth Bend feels. As someone who’s relocated here myself, I’m happy to connect you with local groups, schools, or neighborhoods where you’ll feel at home.

Home Buyer

Tim & Hilary

We had a terrific experience working with Kristine & Kim. As someone who was purchasing property from out of state and didn’t even see the home in person until the day of closing, they made it work!! They made the process from start to finish way less stressful than we thought it would be. Most of all they were patient, knowledgable and proactive which we greatly appreciated.
