Old Mill District captures the essence of Bend living with its dynamic blend of riverside beauty, urban amenities, and outdoor adventure. The grand smokestacks, remnants of Bend’s lumber roots, now tower above a thriving destination just minutes from downtown Bend, offering an impressive lineup of boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment set along the Deschutes River. Whether you’re savoring panoramic mountain views from one of the Old Mill District’s waterfront trails, catching a blockbuster in the Regal Cinemas multiplex, or exploring art installations on the Art Walk, the district offers a lifestyle that’s both sophisticated and approachable.
Families value proximity to well-ranked Bend-La Pine Schools, including Elk Meadow Elementary School, nurturing academic growth alongside culture and recreation. The district’s expansive parks, access to kayaking right off the riverfront, and year-round events—like concerts at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater—keep weekends bustling with possibility.
Culinary delights abound, from gourmet dining overlooking the water at Anthony’s at the Old Mill, to a rich local brew scene—an essential part of the Central Oregon experience. The district’s location offers easy access to neighboring Downtown Bend, bringing even more shops and galleries into your daily orbit.
