Woodhill Homes has built a new apartment complex in Redmond, Oregon. Last month, the Bend Bulletin covered the development saying that it was the first new Redmond apartment complex in “at least five years”. Here is an excerpt from the article:

After years, Redmond gets new apartments

Central Oregon’s housing-rich landscape has seen few apartment complexes built in recent years, but at least one pair of developers see an opportunity in Redmond.

So, if Central Oregon is in the center of Oregon, then what’s in the center of Central Oregon? Smack dab in the middle, it’s Redmond.

A bustling and growing city of 23,500 (circa 2006), Redmond is conveniently and centrally located between Bend, Sisters, Prineville and Madras.  Its size makes it so one can find a number of resources, services and employment options in town, yet its location allows residents only a 15 – 20 minute commute to other areas if needed. One place to spend time in Redmond is the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center. This facility is a big reason why people from all over the world travel to Redmond with about every imaginable event being held there from rodeos, concerts, conventions, home shows, sports events and more. It doesn’t hurt that Roberts Field, Redmond  Municipal Airport, is right down the road from the Expo Center.

Read this over at The Bulletin online:

“More airlines, more flights and bigger planes made 2007 the busiest on record for Redmond Airport. …”Airport Manager Carrie Novick attributed the year’s growth to the addition of Allegiant Air’s service to Las Vegas, a third Delta Connection flight to Salt Lake City and the seasonal addition of United Express’ weekly flight to Denver over the summer.”

Good news for the local Redmond airport!  Glad to hear about the expansion plans as well…

These events benefit charities and have raised over $20,000 so far. This year’s beneficiary is Girls Go Outside. Girls Go Outside will benefit by receiving 20% of all of the button sales from the event. From the Bend Winterfest website:
