Discovery West vs
NW Crossing & Shevlin Meadows.
Three neighborhoods, one corner of NW Bend — here’s how they actually differ.

Three NW Bend neighborhoods,
one corner of town.
Discovery West, NW Crossing, and Shevlin Meadows all sit within a few minutes of each other in the Summit West area of NW Bend.

Era & Construction
New build vs
established resale.
Discovery West is the newest of the three, in development since 2016 and currently underway on phases 7 and 8 of 13 — new construction is still part of daily life in parts of the neighborhood. NW Crossing and Shevlin Meadows are both fully built out, so homes there are almost entirely resale, with character and finish levels that reflect when each street was originally built.
Feel & Trail Access
Builder-direct custom homes
vs. an established, mixed-use hub.
Discovery West’s draw is Phil’s Trail right out the door and a custom home from a Discovery West Builders Guild-approved builder. NW Crossing’s draw is its own mixed-use center — The Grove food hall, shops, and a Saturday farmers market, all within easy reach. Shevlin Meadows sits between the two, close to Shevlin Park, away from NW Crossing’s retail traffic and Discovery West’s active construction.
Price Range
What homes run
in each neighborhood.
Discovery West spans the widest range, from the Nine Cottages starting around $900K to custom estate homes over $3M on Strada lots. NW Crossing and Shevlin Meadows are resale markets, so pricing tracks the broader NW Bend resale market rather than a fixed new-construction price list — see each neighborhood’s own guide for current listings.
