La Pine

A small frontier town where you can escape the hustle and bustle.

Welcome to La Pine, Oregon

It might sound cliche but La Pine is truly an up-and-coming area of Central Oregon. For families seeking a bit more space or a more affordable home, La Pine is 25 minutes of little traffic, south of Bend. While super commuters in metropolitan cities spend 2 hours each way to live in affordable neighborhoods without a surrounding outdoor paradise; La Pine offers stunning views of Mt. Bachelor and Paulina Peak, as well as easy access to lakes, rivers, and forests—all within a very short drive. In the time it takes to finish a full cup of coffee, you can be in Bend for retail shopping and employment opportunities, with the Redmond/Bend airport only another 30 minutes further.

This town on the rise has a variety of options, from homes with acreage in the Lazy River Development on the Little Deschutes (you don’t have to go to Bend to float this river), to homes in woody neighborhoods surrounded by Ponderosa Pines.  Not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the cost of living is also more affordable, with local restaurants, groceries, golf, and entertainment stretching your family’s dollar just a bit further.  To top it off, Mt Bachelor is only a short 40 minute drive and Sunriver Resort is only 15 minutes.  Truly, La Pine is a place to call home where you can have it all—nature, space, and affordability.

Local Lifestyle

With an expanding population of just under 3,000, the friendly locals of La Pine cherish a strong sense of community, embracing generational living. The value of blending the wisdom of the older generation with the vibrant energy of youth is on display with the newly completed, Little Deschutes Lodge, which allows elderly family members to stay close and foster strong family ties. Families keep kids active through N Zone Sports, which operates youth sports leagues in soccer, flag football, youth basketball, t-ball, cheerleading and more. One important note* Learn to drive in the snow. Bend sees a modest 20.5 inches per year, while La Pine averages 94.6. Equip yourself with a reliable 4wd or AWD with snow tires during the winter and you will be more than prepared.

Dining & Entertainment

Food choices in La Pine may be currently limited, but they’re steadily expanding as the city grows. Each year brings exciting choices, like the brand new food truck area at Wetlands Tap House. This spot isn’t just about good eats; it’s also a hub for entertainment, with live bands playing on their outdoor deck and a huge covered area that seats 100 people, complete with four large fire pits for winter gatherings. La Pine is also home to a couple new breweries, fantastic pizza, and a beloved family favorite–a top-notch affordable Mexican restaurant with awesome margaritas. If you are craving a higher-end date night dining experience, Sunriver Resort and Bend are just a short drive away. Events where the whole community of La Pine turns out are also frequent and fun. They include: Fourth of July Frontier Days & Rodeo, the Rhubarb Festival (you won’t be disappointed), the Holiday Trucker’s Light Parade, and much more.
