Review of Bend, Oregon


Bye-bye Beautiful Bend
Star Rating - 3/4/2012
Bend is a beautiful, bustling and friendly town and it is the largest in Central Oregon. However, my husband and I are retirees as well as transplanted Southern Californians who are not used to the cold winters. The novelty has worn off of having four distinct seasons. Also the health insurance coverage in Oregon is more expensive and limited compared to Southern CA. We are looking to relocate in 2 to 3 years.

Too bad you and thousands of other Californians have moved to Bend and literally ruined our beautiful little town. Hopefully you've moved away by now, and if we are lucky more will soon follow! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
