About Century West
Century West is one of the 13 official neighborhood districts recognized by the City of Bend, covering about 1,544 acres on the southwest side of the city along SW Century Drive. The district’s confirmed boundary, based on the City of Bend’s own GIS data, includes the Broken Top golf community, plus the Bachelor View and Braeburn areas closer to town.
Tetherow and Widgi Creek golf resorts sit just outside the official City of Bend limits to the west of Century West, in unincorporated Deschutes County. They are often grouped with Century West in everyday conversation because they share the same Century Drive corridor and the same outdoor lifestyle, but they are not technically inside the City of Bend Neighborhood District boundary. This page focuses on the confirmed district itself, and links out to dedicated pages for Tetherow’s sub-neighborhoods below.
Broken Top brings a private golf club, a Tom Weiskopf- and Jay Morrish-designed championship course, and a mix of custom homes and townhomes surrounding the fairways. Braeburn and Bachelor View are quieter, more established residential streets closer to town, with easy access to Summit High School and the shops and restaurants along Century Drive.
What ties the whole area together is the Century Drive corridor itself: the same road that runs through the neighborhood continues out to Mt. Bachelor, so year-round recreation is genuinely part of daily life here, not just a weekend drive.
Century West vs. Broken Top vs. Tetherow
| Area | City Status | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Century West | Official City of Bend Neighborhood District | Broken Top golf community plus the quieter Bachelor View and Braeburn streets closer to town |
| Broken Top | Inside the Century West district, in unincorporated Deschutes County | Private golf club community with custom homes and townhomes around the course |
| Tetherow | Just outside City of Bend limits, unincorporated Deschutes County | Resort-style golf community with its own lodging, restaurant and trail network |
What to Know Before You Buy
- Century West is a City of Bend Neighborhood District, not a single subdivision, so home styles and price points vary a lot from street to street.
- Broken Top requires a look at HOA dues and club membership rules before writing an offer, since the golf club is privately operated.
- Bachelor View and Braeburn tend to be more affordable entry points into the district than Broken Top.
- Tetherow and Widgi Creek are close by but sit outside the official City of Bend line, which can matter for city services and taxes.
- Century Drive is the main access route, so winter driving conditions and traffic during Mt. Bachelor season are worth planning around.
- Confirm school attendance boundaries directly with Bend-La Pine Schools, since they can shift.

Relocating to Century West
Most buyers moving into Century West are coming from out of state and want the golf-and-mountain lifestyle without giving up quick access to downtown Bend. Because the district blends Broken Top’s private club community with the more affordable Bachelor View and Braeburn streets, it works for both a full-time move and a second home.
Buying or Selling in Century West
Buyers: Inventory in Broken Top moves quickly, especially golf-course-facing lots. Bachelor View and Braeburn homes tend to sit a little longer and offer more room to negotiate. Always factor in HOA and golf club terms before writing an offer in Broken Top.
Sellers: Pricing depends heavily on which of the three confirmed sub-neighborhoods your home is in, and whether it’s golf-course adjacent. Tiffany pulls comparable closed sales directly from the MLS across Broken Top, Bachelor View, and Braeburn before recommending a list price.
