Southwest Bend · Overview
Inside Southwest Bend
Southwest Bend is bounded by Powers Road to the north, the Deschutes River to the west, 3rd Street to the east, and the city limits to the south. The City of Bend recognized it in December 2001, making it the first neighborhood district established in the city. The area sits next to the Old Mill District, a 270-acre mixed-use development on the former Shevlin-Hixon and Brooks-Scanlon lumber-mill site, now home to roughly 60 retailers and the 8,000-seat Hayden Homes Amphitheater on the west bank of the Deschutes.
Housing spans a wide range of eras, with a share of homes from the 1970s through 1990s and the majority built after 1999 as the city grew following the timber industry's decline. The result is a mix of established ranch homes, newer single-family construction, and townhomes, many on lots that back to the Deschutes River Trail corridor.
SW Century Drive runs through the neighborhood and becomes the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway heading west, reaching Mount Bachelor in about 22 miles. The Bend Whitewater Park sits at the district's northern edge on the Deschutes at SW Shevlin Hixon Drive, with three river channels for kayaking, paddleboarding, and floating. Schools serving the area include Elk Meadow Elementary (60880 Brookswood Blvd) and Summit High School.

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!
