Discover Boyd Acres: Bend's Northern Gem

Nestled at the north end of town, Boyd Acres stands apart—not quite the east, not quite the west. It's the north... and what a vibrant north it is! Currently a bustling battlefield of development and growth, Boyd Acres holds a unique place in Bend's landscape, both literally and metaphorically. Let's dive into what makes Boyd Acres not just a place on the map, but a dynamic district teeming with life, amenities, and housing diversity that captures the essence of Bend.

A Place of Convergence

At first glance, Boyd Acres may seem like any other neighborhood, but look closer, and you'll find it's where Bend's natural beauty meets urban convenience. Flanked by the Deschutes River and Pilot Butte Canal, Boyd Acres stretches north, encompassing the Empire Corridor, sections of 3rd Street, and the Parkway. It's a melting pot of box store shopping centers, varied housing options, and, most excitingly, a wave of new developments on the horizon.

A Rich Tapestry of Amenities

What sets Boyd Acres apart are its amenities, reflecting the diverse needs of its residents. From the industrious roots of Empire Avenue, now a major artery connecting the neighborhood, to the blend of businesses, shopping, and dining options along 3rd Street, there's no shortage of conveniences.

Remember the days of the Bend River Promenade, once known as the Mountain View Mall? Those memories highlight the transformation Boyd Acres and its surroundings have undergone, evolving into a hub of activity that caters to every fancy. The addition of Cascade Village and the forthcoming new Costco location underscore the area's growth and appeal.

Beyond the Concrete Jungle

But Boyd Acres isn't just about commercial success. The planned highway 97 north intercept project is set to redefine mobility in the area, promising smoother travel for residents and visitors alike. This initiative is a testament to the neighborhood's forward-thinking approach to infrastructure and development.

A Home for Everyone

Housing in Boyd Acres is as diverse as its landscape. From apartments and townhouses to serene neighborhoods with acreage like Old Deschutes, there's something for every lifestyle and budget. Discover hidden gems like Lava Ridges and Terrango Glen, or the quiet seclusion of Yardley Estates. For those drawn to the allure of the river, the west side of the highway offers access to nature's bounty without the premium price tag of Bend's more heralded western neighborhoods.

The Future Is Bright

With developments like Caraway bringing hundreds of new residences and commercial spaces, Boyd Acres is on the brink of a major transformation. This evolution promises to enhance the neighborhood's charm while offering new opportunities for residents and businesses alike.

Boyd Acres exemplifies the essence of Bend—where nature meets progress, where community thrives, and where the future is always within reach. Whether you're considering a move or just exploring what Bend has to offer, Boyd Acres deserves a spot on your list.
