I know there are a few of you that live in Central OR. If a person was thinking about relocating to the area around Bend, what advice would you give?
Gov't - Local attitude toward County/City policies and overall feel or trust? In other words do the residents feel like the County or City is doing a good job?
Weather - What would a normal winter be like? Is there as much sun as everyone says?
Commuting - I know housing in Bend is steep so the thought would be to locate outside of the Bend area and commute. What would you say is a reasonable commute time or distance? As much as I'd like to be in Prineville, its probably too far. Redmond seems to be where a lot of folks land. What about La Pine?
Commuting in the winter? I can't imagine it being "that" terrible. Maybe a day or two if there was a big storm which would be a lot different that here on the west side.
Property/Acreage - Are there areas that have groundwater (well) issues and or Septic issues that one should be aware of or pay attention to?
