Buildable plan: Prairie, Discovery West, Bend, OR 97703

Discovery West is a vibrant, master-planned neighborhood on Bend's west side, nestled just beyond NorthWest Crossing. Spanning 245 acres, it offers a mix of custom homes, cottages, townhomes, and apartments, thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural landscape and promote a walkable, community-centered lifestyle. Developed by the same team behind NorthWest Crossing, Discovery West follows a "transect" model—featuring higher-density housing near the core and more spacious lots toward the forested edge. The neighborhood is Firewise-certified, integrating wildfire resilience through smart landscaping and building practices. A highlight of Discovery West is its commitment to open space, including a 38-acre expansion of Discovery Park, miles of trails, and a series of smaller neighborhood parks. Discovery Corner, the community hub, offers gathering spaces, local retail, public art, and seasonal events. Families benefit from proximity to top-rated schools and nearby higher education campuses, while the neighborhood's street names and public art celebrate notable women in science, history, and culture. Discovery West is a thoughtfully crafted community that embraces Bend's active lifestyle, natural beauty, and strong sense of place.
