"Commute to downtown or Old Mill isn’t about 10 mins in the mornings. Traffic is way worse in the afternoons. "

"Because I value my health above all else, I chose Gardenside as my neighborhood. Here, it's easy to get sunshine, fresh air and plenty of exercise -- I walk out the door and indulge not only complete safety in the neighborhood, but also on the many trails (along the beautiful canal and in the BLM). The inspiring views of the Cascades also entice me outdoors! Also, from here, I can walk to the neighborhood farm (Field's Farm) for fresh produce all year around (they have a commercial green house). Many of my neighbors love to walk, too, so it's easy to find friends to join me. As for weather, I like the micro climate here in Gardenside - more sun and much less snow and ice than on Bend's westside. As for a healthy social life and community, the middle of the Gardenside neighborhood is a well-maintained park with a lovely stone-and-timber Pavillion -- a great place to meet with friends, family and neighbors for BBQ, playing our musical instruments, indulging conversation, relaxing with a good book, or meeting with our laptops. Neighbors here really look out for each other and take good care of each other. That means a lot to me. As for getting out and about ... Since I'm only 3 miles from the Old Mill District and Bend's (charming) downtown, I waste no time fighting traffic to get to the art galleries, restaurants, theater, symphony and the nationally acclaimed Friday Art Walks. Of all the places I've lived in the US, I've been happiest (and healthiest!) while living in Gardenside."
