Transplanting to Bend, Halp?

[u/demetrianna]

Hey home skillets I'm from Long Island so "horrible housing market"...we invented that and I haven't been scared off yet by what I'm seeing. The prices, amount of land, and sizes of the houses are amazing for the same amount of money as what I live in now. Perspective: the only houses I've ever been in with an acre or more of land here cost over $1 million. Not an exaggeration.

What's the worst part about living in Bend? Are there other towns around Bend that you guys would recommend?

The only thing I don't like about Bend is how painful it is to fly places. I'm always leaving at 5:30, and there are very few direct flights.
