Lakeside Place Apartments

In Downtown Bend, there's even artwork in the alleys. Everything about Downtown Bend is artistic -- the ornate details on the buildings, the cobblestone sidewalks, the unexpected statue, the period lighting. It's the type of neighborhood you just enjoy walking around in -- or riding your bike through. There are sidewalk cafes with colorful umbrellas, striped awnings, and planters filled with cheery blooms.

The Old Stone Performing Arts Center offers a wide variety of concerts and other events for when you want an evening out. You'll also be able to see an art exhibit, follow the largest beer trail in the West, the Bend Ale Trail, and enjoy all of the activities living in the Cascade Mountains affords: mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, and hiking. If you are moving to Downtown Bend with a pet, the city was named "Dog Town USA" because it is so pet-friendly. It is also a "Beer Town USA." You can even combine the two--some of the breweries in Bend are dog-friendly.
