Bend Oregon -- an Active Outdoor Community

Bend Oregon on your list is in Central Oregon.

Many think of Oregon as rainy -- Central Oregon is
not -- very dry and sunny.

It is a great community for retirees, 20 plus golf courses, mild winter climate with ski areas for both downhill and cross country. Trails everywhere, with good bike paths in and out of town.

Small college.

Number one parks and recreation programs in the nation.
Scenic river flows right thru town. Restaurants and multiple microbrew pubs.

The health care is top notch. Many who also have homes in Southern California, Arizona, have their major health care done here. They say it is superior to Arizona and Southern California big cities.

No sales tax. Vehicle tags are ridiculously low.
