The City of Bend is officially planning for a population of over 154,000 people by the year 2050. But what does this massive growth forecast actually mean for the Bend Oregon housing market, local infrastructure, traffic, and real estate prices?
In this video, John Kromm breaks down the reality of the upcoming 20-year growth plan, the truth about Oregon's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), and major developments like Stevens Ranch and Caldera Ranch. Whether you are currently living in Bend Oregon, planning on moving to Bend, or investing in Central Oregon real estate, these upcoming zoning and development changes will completely reshape the town over the next few decades. We dive deep into the real trade-offs between urban density, housing affordability, and local infrastructure.
If you are trying to understand how Bend's rapid expansion affects your personal home value or future buying power, my team and I would love to be your local real estate resource of choice.

As someone who is thinking that when I retire in another fifteen years or so that it might not be in my hometown (Hood River) and is looking for options, I appreciate videos like this which give me thoughtful and nuanced views of what is happening in other communities. Thanks for your balanced perspective.

Bend is growing. Growth is inevitable. Not the problem. What many have an issue with is the manner, speed, intensity of that growth at the expense of Bend ethics, corruption, greed and laziness associated with that growth—the choice few developers who own Bend. Conflict of interest is the rule of law in Bend after the crash of 08. Safety (streets, crosswalks, lighting, speed in school zones, construction zone disorganization, lack of enforcement of laws) is not prioritized. Urban infill is normal and expected but not at the expense of safety/ quality of life, proper planning, safety of a family trying to cross Bond after a movie or concert. It’s really only a matter of time before a family walks out of the box factory or a restaurant at night and is hit on Bond Ave. I agree Jon with your comments about sequencing— that is well said.

I wonder where the Omish weigh in on growth ?

either Bend grows or it stays the same size but only the well to do will afford it and everyone else will get pushed to Redmond or Prineville. Pick your poison.
