Summit West is the youngest of thirteen neighborhood districts formally recognized by the City of Bend. Our aim is to build community, improve the quality of life in our friendly little corner of town, and help shape the future of Bend. Our biweekly newsletters keep you informed about neighborhood news and events that may affect you. We encourage you to get involved!​
The City of Bend sees neighborhood districts as partners who facilitate valuable feedback from residents and businesses on projects, programs, and policy decision-making by City Council and staff. We encourage your civic engagement!​​
