Transportation. Public transportation is not the best option in this city. Taking a bus two miles down the road can eat up an hour of your time. Plus, extreme weather conditions make having a car a necessity for stocking up on emergency sweaters, umbrellas, and other protections from the cold and rainy seasons. However, once you get your car, traffic will be a breeze, and weekend excursions into the nearby mountains will make the car payments well worth the effort.
Microclimates. The climate around Bend is very finicky. You may be drinking coffee in a light snowfall on the southwest end of town, then have to shed layers in the springtime-sunshine weather of the northeast end of town. And, travelling from the sunny north side to the cool, shady south side will make your buns freeze off with dramatic changes in temperature. So, watch the weatherman with a good dose of skepticism and always keep extra jackets in the car for these isolated changes in climate.
Rental Homes. Renting a house is one of your better options. Vacancies are common and many landlords actively seek steady, reliable tenants. Therefore, landlords are quick to please, offering low rental rates and higher quality housing for trustworthy renters.
Downtown. A Bar & Grill on every corner, plus pubs, breweries, art galleries, and eats.

Summit West. A neighborhood on the summit, looking down on city views and neighborhood parks.

Southern Crossing. Where the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory lives, this neighborhood also includes a brewery (of course), a few parks along the river, a movie theater, an art culture, and shopping at the Old Mill.
Southwest Bend. A neighborhood nestled in the bend of the river, this area is full of parks and cute little house rentals.
Southeast Bend. Another pleasant area.
