It would be hard to find a faster growing, more inviting area in Oregon than Central Oregon. The vital cities of Bend, Redmond, and La Pine offer a wide variety of options for retirement communities and real estate. Bend, along with Redmond to the north and LaPine to the south, is almost the geographic center of Oregon. To the east you will find high desert, to the west mountains and forests. If you're looking for a retirement full of outdoor recreation, this is the place. Bend is the bustling county seat and home of Central Oregon Community College. Redmond's airport has nonstop service to most West Coast cities, and is responsible for a burgeoning business climate. LaPine offers affordable housing, a quieter pace of life, and a strong sense of community. Central Oregon is a hiker's paradise, with everything from paved, handicapped-accessible nature trails to expedtion-type treks into the surrounding wilderness areas. Cyclists will enjoy unlimited moutain biking opportunities, and miles of open road with unparalleled scenic beauty where the deer outnumber the cars! Golfers can play a different course practically every day of the month, and enjoy breathtaking views from every tee. Skiers and snowboarders enjoy sunshine and powder on Mt. Bachelor. When it's time to come inside from the trails, slopes, or fairways, the fun continues with concerts, theatres, fine dining and shopping. Visit the web sites below to learn more about an area that has all the amenities of a big city without the urban traffic and density. LaPine's new slogan says it all: "The Outdoors at Your Front Door."
