NorthWest Crossing
Walkable village meets Pacific Northwest charm
Best for
A walkable village setting with varied home styles. I'll help you review the CC&Rs and any association requirements before you write an offer.
If you moved to Bend and somehow ended up not telling anyone about it, NorthWest Crossing would make that impossible. This is the neighborhood I show clients who actually want to know their neighbors, and it works.
Built on new urbanist principles, NWX (as locals call it) has a village center with coffee shops, a wine bar, a yoga studio, and a grocery store all within a short walk of most homes. Parks, trails, and places to eat are part of the neighborhood setting.
The architecture is intentionally varied: craftsman, farmhouse, cottage, contemporary, so it feels like a neighborhood that grew organically rather than a subdivision where every house is a slight variation of the same box. Lot sizes are modest by Bend standards, but the trade-off is that everything is close.
