Boyd Acres Neighborhood Spotlight: Exploring Bend's North End

Welcome to Boyd Acres, not just another neighborhood but THE NORTH end of Bend. Let's dive into what makes this area tick and why it's buzzing with activity.

Boyd Acres sprawls from the Deschutes River to the Pilot Butte Canal, encompassing Empire Corridor, a portion of 3rd Street, and the Highway 97 Parkway. Here, you'll find a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces, with exciting new developments on the horizon.

Amenities

Boyd Acres isn't just about homes; it's a hub of activity. Empire Avenue, once an industrial zone, now serves as a major artery connecting Northeast Bend. Industrial buildings, breweries like 10 Barrel and Crux, and a variety of services dot the landscape.

3rd Street boasts a diverse array of businesses, from big-box retailers like T.J. Maxx and WinCo to dining options at the Bend River Promenade. Cascade Village, transformed from an indoor mall to an outdoor shopping destination, continues to evolve with new additions like Costco.

But amid the growth, the construction around Highway 97's north intercept is causing temporary chaos, reshaping the landscape for smoother traffic flow in the future.

Housing

Now, let's talk homes. Boyd Acres offers a diverse range of housing options. From rentals along Empire Avenue to established neighborhoods like Old Deschutes and newer developments with spacious lots and stunning views, there's something for everyone.

Notable neighborhoods include Lava Ridges, Terrango Glen, Stonebrook, and Yardley Estates. Hunter's Circle, near Cooley Road, offers tranquil living despite its proximity to the train tracks.

On the west side of the highway, closer to the river, you'll find newer, higher-end homes in neighborhoods like Rimrock Riders, Glenvista Meadows, and Lavacrest. These areas offer a unique blend of nature and accessibility.

New Developments

Exciting new developments are on the horizon, with projects like Caraway set to introduce 400 single-family residences and 200 multi-family units, along with commercial spaces, courtesy of Pahlisch Homes.

Boyd Acres is undergoing a transformation, with new amenities, improved infrastructure, and expanding housing options. Whether you're looking for convenience, nature, or a bit of both, Boyd Acres has something to offer.
