Old Farm District: Top Neighborhood in Bend Featured This Week

The Old Farm District was once filled with farmland and ranch properties. If you appreciate being close to everything and living in a community that offers a lot of amenities, then you need to visit this one. But how about now? Let’s find out more about this neighborhood in this blog article.

A Little Bit More About Old Farm District

The Old Farm District is home to a trio of neighborhoods that have their roots in literature. Along opposite sides of 15th Street are the Nottingham Square and King’s Forest subdivisions, the former with Robin Hood-themed street names and the latter with streets named after the kings of the Old Testament. A little over a mile to the west is The Shire, a Lord of the Rings themed development that takes its street names and architectural style from the JRR Tolkien books.

The sound of children playing, the gentle flow of people going about their daily lives and the soothing call of the Western Meadowlark, all separated from the more congested parts of the city, this is what awaits the residents of this charming district in Bend.

Outdoor Parks

Here at Old Farm District, we have parks where residents could enjoy their time with their families and friends. These are the following:

Stone Creek Park

According to Bend Park Recreation and District, Stone Creek is located in southeast Bend and directly west of Silver Rail Elementary School. This park is defined by basalt lava features which form a mini butte-like natural area in the center of the park with sweeping views southeast to China Hat Butte and even the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.

The park features a small bike pump track, a small skate spot, trails, a picnic shelter, picnic tables, open turf and natural play areas with play features. The natural play areas feature sandboxes with “log steppers,” a water trough, a mini “excavator” and smoothed logs for unstructured, creative play.

Foxborough Park

This charming neighborhood park developed in 2002 is located in the Foxborough subdivision just east of Brosterhous Road in southeast Bend. This small park is a popular gathering place for local families.

The park is surrounded by streets on three sides, providing plenty of curbside parking. There are two off-street ADA parking spaces and on-street parking.

Sun Meadow Park

This neighborhood park is located adjacent to R.E. Jewell Elementary School at the south end of Bend.

It’s not likely to draw many visitors from outside the neighborhood because it’s a little difficult to find, and it doesn’t have any unique features. But despite all this, residents say that going to this park has been a nice experience or them since there are a lot of kind neighbors who are also visiting the park.

Homes in Old Farm District

The land in this neighborhood was not completely sacrificed with the addition of newer homes. This is a popular area for those looking for slightly larger lots, many of which are about a half-acre in size.
