Talk to a Specialist →Dry Canyon Village is located in Redmond, Oregon, approximately 16 miles north of Bend. It is the only new fee-simple 55+ gated community being actively developed in the Central Oregon market — meaning you own the land beneath your home, unlike the land-lease communities (Cascade Village, The Four Seasons) that dominate Bend's 55+ inventory. This distinction has major financial implications explained below.
The clubhouse anchors the community with an indoor saline lap pool, yoga studio, cardio gym, locker rooms, and a covered upper patio with views of the Cascades and Smith Rock State Park. A downstairs patio connects to a private community park and pickleball courts. The location provides direct trail access to River Canyon trails and Spruce Park.
All homes at Dry Canyon Village are single-level. Floor plans range from 1,331 to 2,584 square feet across multiple designs including double primary suite configurations. Typical features include quartz counters, walk-in pantry, gas fireplace in the great room, and tile shower in primary baths. Prices from approximately $480,000 for entry plans to $650,000+ for larger floor plans on premium lots. Verify current pricing and availability directly with the community — Central Oregon's market moves quickly and inventory in gated 55+ is limited.

Redmond is not Bend — it is 16 miles north, smaller (population ~35,000), and meaningfully more affordable across all housing types. The Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) provides direct flights to Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix — critical for buyers with family connections or who travel frequently. St. Charles Redmond (the area's satellite hospital to St. Charles Bend) provides local healthcare; complex care routes to Bend. Smith Rock State Park — one of the most photographed landscapes in Oregon — is essentially at the community's back door.
