Welcome to Sunriver, Oregon
CENTRAL OREGON'S ORIGINAL RESORT COMMUNITY
Sunriver isn't just a place to buy a home — it's a year-round lifestyle shaped by the natural beauty and recreation that define Central Oregon. Set along the Deschutes River just 15 miles south of Bend, Sunriver has welcomed residents since 1968, growing into more than 3,300 acres of neighborhoods while maintaining its distinctive resort-community character.
Here, everyday life connects naturally to the outdoors, with miles of trails, river access, tennis and pickleball, and a welcoming village at the community's heart. Nearby Mt. Bachelor and the surrounding Cascade lakes and mountains extend that lifestyle well beyond Sunriver itself, creating a setting designed to be enjoyed in every season.
Just beyond Sunriver are two of Central Oregon's most sought-after private communities, Crosswater and Caldera Springs, each offering its own distinctive take on resort living.
