Southern Crossing is central Bend, anchored by the Old Mill District and the Deschutes River corridor. It’s a mixed-use area, you’re buying into walkability, trails, river access, and quick hops to downtown, not a secluded subdivision vibe. 

 

Housing is mostly single-family, with some townhomes/condos and apartment-style product closer to the Old Mill and main corridors. If you want “quiet cul-de-sac only,” you’ll need to pick streets carefully. If you want “I can walk to coffee, the river, and shops,” this is one of Bend’s strongest fits.
