Spotlight on Bend: Discovering Mountain View

In our quest to explore every nook and cranny of Bend, Oregon, we've decided to take a closer look at the unique fabric that makes up this vibrant city, one neighborhood at a time. Today, we're kicking off our series with a spotlight on Mountain View, a neighborhood that truly encapsulates the spirit of Bend. So, let's dive in and see what makes Mountain View not just a place on the map, but a place to call home.

Welcome to Mountain View

Nestled on the Northeast side of town, Mountain View is more than just a neighborhood; it's a community teeming with life, surrounded by the natural beauty that defines Central Oregon. Stretching along 27th street, from Butler Market to the north and Greenwood to the south, Mountain View encompasses some of Bend's most essential amenities, including St. Charles Hospital and the Forum Shopping Center. But that's just the beginning.

A Cornucopia of Amenities

One of the perks of living in Mountain View is the sheer variety of amenities at your doorstep. For the culinary adventurers and busy families alike, the presence of Costco (for now) ensures your pantry is always stocked. The Forum Shopping Center is a treasure trove of retail and dining options, with everything from Safeway and Whole Foods to Old Navy and a plethora of dining options like Baldy's BBQ and the delightful mix of Mexican and Peruvian cuisine at Hola.

Venture a bit further north on 27th Street, and you'll discover a charming shopping center featuring local favorites such as Hablo Tacos and the Lone Pine Coffee Shop. Not to mention, SunRiver Brewing's new outpost promises a taste of local craft beer excellence.

But perhaps the heart of the local community beats strongest at the On Tap food truck lot. With an array of culinary delights parked and ready to serve, coupled with a tap house boasting 35 varieties of beer and live local music, it's a microcosm of Bend's vibrant local scene.

Green Spaces and More

Mountain View isn't just about urban amenities; it's also home to green spaces that offer a breath of fresh air. From Mountain View Park to Providence Park and the expansive Skyview Park, there's no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy. And with the neighborhood's proximity to a wide array of medical facilities and senior living centers, it's a place that truly caters to everyone.

Diverse Housing for a Diverse Community

Perhaps what's most remarkable about Mountain View is the diversity of its housing options. From single-family homes to duplexes, triplexes, and more, there's a place for everyone here. Neighborhoods like Providence offer classic tract homes, while Mirada represents the newer developments in the area, complete with parks, pools, and stunning mountain views.
