There’s a multitude of reasons for active adults 55 and older eyeing an exodus from the Bay Area to consider the Alexander in Bend, Oregon. Just opened last year, the resort style apartment community provides an attractive destination for anyone looking to retire in the Pacific Northwest.

“We wanted to create the finest community for active adults that also offers access to numerous recreational opportunities in an area of exceptional scenic beauty. At the Alexander we have created an environment that delivers luxury resort style amenities and fine dining combined with apartment finishes that are setting a new standard for what retirement living should look like,” said Dan Lamey, the President and COO of BPM Real Estate Group.

All told, there are 30 different apartment floor plans to choose from, including studio, onebedroom and twobedroom layouts ranging from 410 to 1,475 square feet. Most apartments enjoy a balcony or patio, and the building was designed and constructed to maximize views of the surrounding mountain ranges. No buy in is required, just a nominal initiation fee and unit rental rates include a food and beverage credit as well as biweekly housekeeping services and utilities. WiFi hotspots scattered throughout the community’s common areas allow residents to stay connected while on the go.

There’s an indoor heated pool and spa, a spacious patio with a barbecue island and a rooftop terrace with three fire pits as well as a telescope for stargazing. JB’s Game Room offers darts, shuffleboard, billiards and a gaming table as well as a large screen TV to watch your favorite sporting events. The onsite cinema, Janie’s Theater, boasts a 98inch, highdefinition screen with luxury living room style theater seating, the perfect place to meet friends for a classic movie or recent release.

Residents looking to stay fit can make use of the stateoftheart fitness center featuring HUR programmable equipment. Scheduled fitness classes with a full time instructor and trainer are all included in the monthly rent, as well as classes in the Yoga/Pilates studio and water aerobics classes in the heated indoor pool.

In the Art Studio, residents are given space to channel their creative energy independently or by participating in the schedule of complimentary classes offered. Local artists are featured and their work is on display in the secondfloor art gallery.

At the Indulgence Salon residents can take advantage of services typically found in a fullservice salon, including manicures and pedicures. Clifton’s Barber Shop is also onsite, providing an authentic barbering experience including classic haircuts, beard trims and straight razor shaves. For further pampering, the indoor pool, hydro spa and sauna provide the perfect remedy to tense, aching muscles, and the Alexander offers a massage room for singles or couples’ massages.

“Our residents wanted flexible and unique dining options, so we designed three areas to meet their expectations,” said Lamey. With a focus on fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, the Alexander offers fine dining, casual bistro and pub fare. Led by an experienced executive chef, The ALX Restaurant serves dishes that rival any highend restaurant in the area. In the Café Liz, residents can enjoy specialty coffees, smoothies and a delicious assortment of breakfast options, or pick something up at the grabngo store. At the Wally Bar residents can listen to live music, join a group of friends for trivia night or just enjoy a great drink and pub fare.

said the Alexander’s location in Central Oregon is another great reason to consider the move to Bend. “We have four true seasons here which provide a wide range of options to enjoy the outdoors yearround. If you enjoy golfing, skiing, hiking, fishing or kayaking there is no better place to be than Bend. Our rentals are a great value considering the services and amenities we offer, and as an additional bonus there is no state sales tax in Oregon. We wanted to create something special in one of the world’s most beautiful places, and I believe we accomplished that.” said Lamey.
