Review of Bend, Oregon


I like Bend
Star Rating - 2/24/2012
I went to visit Bend last summer of 2011 and then recently last month of Feb of 2012 and I have visit Oregon four times in my life time and I always like Oregon,Washington and northern California but I like Oregon the most because the weather is just right in Bend. I love the surrounding mountains near Bend with snow on it all year round. The ocean is not very far to drive and its nice to see the west coast ocean because its very clean and blue and neat to look at. The weather always been nice everytime I visit oregon, sometimes its a little wet and cloudy but not too bad. I like Washington state but would never live there because its too wet there but the summer is awesome in Washington and Oregon. Bend is a very nice small city with many restaurants and shops, its also very clean and more trees to the west. Housing is affordable but not real chaep and the rents there are good not expensive. I made up my mind that Bend is the place where I want to move to in the near future because overall I really like Bend because the weather is the best in that part of the state and its a very pretty area. I am done with Texas because I really hate the hot weather in Texas and like Oregon weather so much better and there is so much more things to do and lot of sight seeing in Oregon than Texas. So bend is the place where I want to be soon.

I hope you never moved here. We can't stand having any more out of state plants move here. Everything you wrote about Bend is total BS! Thanks to reviews like this and thousands of Californians moving here in droves, Bend is no longer a nice small "city". It used to be a small town!
