sk a resident why they moved anywhere from San Francisco to Boston to Sunriver and you’ll discover they fell in love with the Sunriver lifestyle when they were a visitor.
Sunriver is a world apart from anywhere else as residents will share how they enjoy the quietness, the brilliant stars and planets in the night’s sky, being close to abundant recreational activities, the sanctuary to nature and wildlife, and the feeling of living in a “small town,” where locals know one another. The Sunriver community and the nearby 27 neighborhoods that comprise Three Rivers South (TRS) have local shops, services and restaurants and are only 15 miles south of Bend and 15 miles north of La Pine.
Sunriver’s amenities include the 34 miles of paved pathways, allowing people to walk or bike to nearby shopping, restaurants, services and athletic facilities. The newly renovated owner’s-only North Pool complex has a lap/leisure pool, kids’ pool with water slide and expansive lawn area surrounded by native vegetation. The roads in Sunriver are well maintained, including in the winter, and the community is served by its own police and fire departments. Three Rivers South continues to grow in popularity. These neighborhoods, located to the south between Sunriver and La Pine, are intersected by the Deschutes, Spring and Fall Rivers. There is great diversity in housing here. For example, some areas may allow manufactured homes, while others have the option of living in gated communities.
