An exciting community that puts an emphasis on community building

Breweries Park-Like Community Restaurants

A healthy sprinkling of early 20th-century bungalows and Craftsman homes define parts of the River West neighborhood, located on the west side of the Deschutes River and east of the Cascades. Just over one mile from Downtown Bend, River West's homes for rent offer swift, easy access to retail stores, cafes, and restaurants running along Newton Avenue, 14th Street, and Galveston. Kebaba on Northwest Newport Avenue, a local favorite, treats River West residents to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food.

Home to more than a dozen microbreweries and Central Oregon Community College, River West presents a unique mixture of brand-new suburban rentals on quiet, tree-lined blocks. The streets of central River West and all of Bend abound with public art and culture, thanks to Art in Public Places, a local organization. River West's neighborly atmosphere extends to other endeavors, such as the Triangle Park Weed Pull and Cleanup and the Bend Livability Conference, which the River West Neighborhood Association sponsors.
