Top 5 things I love about Bend
So, I'm a college student here and Poverty rate is 5.7%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,767/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Far from major airports
