For most new residents, Central Oregon is a lifestyle choice, offering year-round recreational opportunities and world-class amenities, all with the benefits of small-town living. The region consists of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties, with a combined population of approximately 210,000. Deschutes is the largest of the three counties, and Bend is the hub and most populous city in the region. Central Oregon is surrounded by natural beauty to be enjoyed during every season. With the Cascade Mountain Range to the west, the smaller Ochoco Mountains to the east, and the Deschutes and Columbia rivers meandering through the region, it’s no wonder that recreation is king here. The region boasts more than 30 golf courses, whitewater rafting, world-class fly-fishing, more than 1,000 climbing routes, 3,600 skiable acres at Mt. Bachelor and another ski destination at Hoodoo in Sisters, along with 1,200 miles of narrow dirt mountain bike trails (or singletrack), which double as snowshoeing and nordic skiing trails in the winter. Other options include paddleboarding on one of the 40 lakes in the region, hiking, camping, horseback riding or exploring thousands of acres of parks. Locally owned boutiques, wine shops, coffeehouses and restaurants line the streets of each Central Oregon town, all boasting unique personalities. Extraordinary living on the land of Central Oregon could be living the rural lifestyle, having room to breathe and property to roam. It could be a place to raise your family or to pursue the dream of raising horses, cattle, llamas or the increasingly popular alpacas. In Oregon and Southwest Washington, land is abundant and temperatures are ripe for gardening and organic growing. In recent years, people with energy and ideas have discovered Central Oregon for a number of business-related reasons. The tech industry is booming, the medical field is drawing world-class care providers from all over the world, the outdoor recreation sector has experienced tremendous growth and the overall health of the entrepreneur is visible everywhere.

EDUCATION public

SCHOOLS IN SISTERS, REDMOND, CROOK COUNTY, AND JEFFERSON COUNTY Sisters School District is one of the most highly acclaimed school districts of its size in Oregon - not only for academics, activities and sports, but also for community, parent and business partnership support. The Redmond School District has a well-deserved reputation for strong schools that offer a wide range of opportunities for students. It is the district’s goal that all graduates have the knowledge and skills of highly literate students: students who are college and/or career ready and have the tools necessary to be successful. The Crook County School District acquired $33.5 million in funds through the sale of tax-exempt bonds to build a new elementary school and refurbish existing buildings, resulting in plans for multiple capital projects that are now complete.

A R EA ATTR ACTIONS

extraordinary culture and recreation Central Oregon–a veritable natural playground. If there's one trait most people in the region share, it’s a passion for outdoor recreation. We play hard, and there's no shortage of ways to do so. Yes, skiing, biking, paddling, hiking, horseback riding and running form the backbone of fun for many in the region, but that’s just the start. The cultural scene is also incredibly vibrant, with film and musical festivals, art galleries, farmers’ markets and exceptional fare for foodies from all over. And, of course, there's craft beer: 29 craft breweries dot the Central Oregon landscape. Rock climbers enjoy world-class routes at Smith Rock. Fly-fishermen are spoiled by gorgeous stretches of lakes and rivers. Hikers can find secluded mountain waterfalls with ease. Mountain bikers hit trails that vary from casual to nerve-wracking. Hunters can find elk and deer, during the right season. Golfers take swings on any of 30 local golf courses.

GOLF

award-winning courses

Few areas have a nationally renowned golf course, let alone three! Crosswater at Sunriver, Tetherow and the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at Pronghorn have all earned accolades. The region’s 30 courses offer stunning vistas, manicured fairways and challenges for players of any skill level. Some of the courses are open yearround (weather permitting), so you’re never too far from another 18 holes. Courses run the gamut in cost and amenities. Juniper Golf Course in Redmond won’t break the bank with greens fees and is well-suited for a casual round. Meanwhile, new resort courses come with resort prices and all the extras one expects for that price. Tetherow and Pronghorn, for example, offer a complete experience: golf, food and ambience. The region also has a handful of private clubs, for players who want to take things to the next level. In-between are courses that feature spectacular views and exceptional layouts at a variety of price points. From high-desert tracks, where lava rocks and sagebrush await just off the fairway, to mountain meadows with tree-lined fairways, each course is memorable. The mountains are on display at Lost Tracks, the red sand traps of Aspen Lakes provide striking visual contrast to ancient pines, and Crooked River Ranch tempts players to shoot close to the edge of the Crooked River Gorge, if only to better take in the amazing views.

WINTER ACTI V ITIES endless opportunities

Snow. We’ve got that too—and in all the right places. The mountains surrounding Bend average 30 feet of snowfall per year, while the city of Bend gets less than 30 inches! Central Oregon is a nationally recognized winter destination, for many reasons. Downhill skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed at Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort or at Hoodoo, just outside of Sisters; Nordic skiing can be found on more than 40 miles of trails. Sled-dog riding, snowmobiling from Sunriver to Bend, with dinner and drinks along the way, or snowshoeing through endless acres of pristine forest also draw outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking at scenic spots like Smith Rock State Park or Pilot Butte or biking on one of the many trails in the region is enjoyed by many, even in the middle of the winter.
