River West pairs a riverfront lifestyle with easy city access, placing you steps from the Deschutes and minutes from Bend’s downtown cafes, galleries, and music venues. Along Galveston and Newport, you’ll find an everyday rhythm of coffee runs, bike commutes, and patio meetups. Locals stock up at the beloved Newport Avenue Market, grab a table at 10 Barrel Brewing – West Side Pub, or meet friends at the heated food-cart courtyard, The Lot.
Outdoor time is effortless. Mellow river strolls unfold through Drake Park, while families love the pirate-ship playground at Columbia Park. Paddlers and surfers head to the engineered waves at the Bend Whitewater Park and float the lazy stretch into town. Trails spin out in every direction, and winter weekends often start with a short drive toward the mountains after a breakfast burrito on Galveston.
River West sits within the Bend-La Pine Schools district, with popular options that include the project-based Highland program at Highland Magnet at Kenwood and the K–8 Westside Village Magnet. Parks, bike boulevards, and neighborhood markets make daily errands doable without the car, while the Old Mill District and festivals downtown add year-round energy.
