If you have ever been to Bend you know that the area is filled with boundless opportunities for recreation.  That is what the lifestyle is all about.  People travel from all over the world to sample some of what Central Oregon has to offer.  With an average of 300 days of sunshine per year and close to 500 inches of annual snowfall (at Mt. Bachelor) a nearly perfect combination of weather exists here like nowhere else.  There are hundreds of miles of singletrack mountain biking, phenomenal waters for fishing, and a relaxed population.  Life is better here. 

The outdoor opportunities are not your only options for fun.  Downtown Bend offers many choices from shopping to dining to theater or just hanging out in Drake Park.  Whatever it is that you are searching for it can be found in Bend.
