The Tree Farm
Neighborhood in Bend, Oregon
The Tree Farm is a newer residential area on Bend's west side, built on former forested land and mixing single-family homes with some attached and multi-family housing.
The Tree Farm sits on Bend's west side, developed on land that was previously a working tree farm, which explains the name and the stands of pine that remain woven through the streets. The neighborhood is newer than most surrounding areas, with a mix of housing types including single-family homes, townhomes, and some multi-family buildings within the same general footprint. The pine cover gives it a different feel from the more open, high-desert landscaping common elsewhere in Bend, with more shade and a denser tree canopy between homes.
It tends to suit buyers who want a newer build without moving to the far edges of town, including families and people relocating to Bend who want modern construction and a layout designed with sidewalks and connected streets in mind. Because the housing mix includes different densities and types, it can also work for buyers who want more flexibility in size or attached maintenance-free living rather than a large single-family lot.
Someone considering the Tree Farm should think about which part of the neighborhood they're looking at, since lot size, home type, and proximity to the tree stands can vary within the development. It's also worth understanding how close a given home is to the west side's commercial areas and main roads, since that affects both convenience and noise. Buyers should look into any shared community infrastructure or maintained common areas tied to specific sections, as these can differ by block rather than applying uniformly across the whole neighborhood.
