Central Oregon's premier new 55+ gated community. Fee-simple ownership, indoor saline lap pool, Cascade views, and Smith Rock right next door. Here is everything buyers need to know.
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.
