This property sits steps from the Bend Central District, Bend's fastest-transforming neighborhood. Once a light-industrial zone, the area has been reborn around NE Second Street, with new pavement and wide, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks tying together theaters, craft distilleries, breweries, and galleries. A planned pedestrian bridge over the parkway will soon put downtown Bend and Drake Park within a short stroll, while Hawthorne, Franklin, and Greenwood Avenues are all getting reworked into safer, more walkable "Midtown Crossings." City leaders envision the district as a walkable, mixed-use core where you can work, live, and play all in one place.
