Relocate to Sunriver

Sunriver is located in central Deschutes County, approximately 15 miles south of the Bend city limits. It lies in the Upper Deschutes River Basin at approximately 4,200 feet elevation, with the Deschutes River forming the western boundary of the 3,300 acre community. The Deschutes National Forest surrounds Sunriver on the north, east and west.

There are approximately 4,700 residences and lodging units in Sunriver and about 1,500 residents call Sunriver home on a full-time basis. About 50% of non-resident owners live in Oregon, 13% in Washington and 12% in California. The average age of resident homeowners is 66 years for men and 64 for women. In the 4th quarter, 2007, the average price of a residential home in Sunriver was $637,734 while the median price was $548,547. Property taxes are collected by the county and distributed to each taxing district. The amount of property taxes is based on the assessed value of your property and the tax rates and bond debt service of your taxing districts.

Although Sunriver is unincorporated, it is self-governed with its own homeowners association, public works department and budget. Its paved roads and 37 miles of pathways for pedestrians and bicycle riders are private, as are its two swimming pools, 26 tennis courts, two parks and other common areas. A special service district provides fully-staffed police, fire and emergency medical services.
