Old Bend · Overview
Inside Old Bend
Old Bend is the city's original residential core, bounded by the Deschutes River to the west, Drake Park and Franklin Avenue to the north, Highway 97 to the east, and Arizona Avenue to the south. At roughly 1 square mile it is the smallest of Bend's neighborhood association districts and the one that predates all others. Alexander M. Drake subdivided the land in 1910 through the Pilot Butte Development Company, with original lots priced at $100 to $250. The Oregon Trunk Line Railroad arrived in 1911 and the Shevlin-Hixon and Brooks-Scanlon sawmills opened in 1915, driving a building boom, and most of the homes date to that early-1900s mill era.
The Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 2005 (NRHP 05000380), covers 17 city blocks and 83 residential lots within Old Bend. Fourteen architectural styles are represented, led by 25 Craftsman bungalows and 17 Colonial Revival homes, with Tudor, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, and California Ranch in smaller numbers. The district reflects the neighborhood's mill-worker origins: compact lots, covered front porches, and craftsmanship-era detail at a pedestrian scale.
Drake Park, established by the City of Bend in 1921, sits along Mirror Pond at the northern edge. The 13-acre park has nearly half a mile of Deschutes River frontage and was purchased for $21,000 after the Women's Civic League collected 1,500 signatures to prevent its subdivision. The Deschutes River Trail runs through the park, connecting residents on foot or by bike directly to downtown, which sits within the neighborhood along the eastern edge.

I'd highly recommend Matt Ryan as his attention to detail and art of the negotiations with data on both buyers/sellers is impressive. He seems to navigate the process between buyers / sellers to a "T" and he exemplifies the communication and clarity. You will not be disappointed ....
We had an excellent experience working with Matt! He was smart, understood our needs right away, and acted quickly while staying calm and patient throughout the process. Even in a tough market, he sold our home faster than we expected. Truly the best — highly recommend!
Matt is the most professional, communicative, and honest Real Estate Broker I have ever worked with. Matt kept me informed on a weekly basis as to the progress of selling my home in the Bend area. He had very constructive ideas to improve my property and always found a reasonable subcontractor to improve my chances of selling my home. If you are selling or buying a home I suggest you contact Matt Ryan immediately. Matt is the best!!
From the start of our journey to the end, Matt was right at every turn. Selling a house is an emotional roller coaster and Matt helped managed the downs while pridicting the ups. I highly recommend Ryan Realty for both buying and selling!
Matt did a great job helping us sell our home. His presentation and marketing were professional and thorough. He was patient, low pressure with us and provided expert guidance. We would not hesitate to recommend or use Matt's services again.
Matt was invaluable in guiding us through our purchase. He is responsive, professional, and above all, a trustworthy person. Matt was always willing to assist us no matter the numerous questions we asked, connecting us with local resources, arranging contractors, and generally helping us jump through the various hoops that it takes to buy a house from out-of-state. We highly recommend Matt!
