Neighbourhood based on JRR Tolkien's LOTR

Check out The Shire (www.bendshire.com/) in Bend, Oregon. It's an interesting concept, but expensive!

I wonder if they'll be putting in shops and stuff too, or if it's just housing.

[Lyoshka]

WOW! So cute! And SOOOOOO expensive LOL
I betcha it'll sell quick, though!

[Kaybee711]

That's a beautiful concept! Isn't that expensive for Oregon though? Not that I know anything about Oregon.

[Mandi]

That's pretty cool. I love some of the cottages. But hello expensive. :eek:

[~Deborah~]

:woa: I fell off my chair when I saw the prices! No way did I expect THAT much!!!!!

[LISA]

That is so cool!

[Bridget]

I admit it makes me giggle a bit to think of a real development based on LOTR but after seeing the pics :jawdrop: gorgeous!

[Masik]

:raspberry Compare to where we live, the prices are just fine, no biggy

[schwanda]

Very cute! The prices aren't high compared to NY but they seem high for Oregon.

$674,730 for a town home! :faint: it looks so authentic until you get to the back of the house re: garage doors :lol:

[Jayne]

They are cool but no way would I spend that money to live in a home that size. Around here that kind of money could go to buy a home more expensive that any home around here. And the size would blow you out of this world for that kind of money.

[Melissa]

Those look very nice! What an interesting concept, but I wonder what the value will be 15-20 years from now.

[Girlo]

Ummm...the prices are expensive for Oregon, but not for Bend, OR. :heee: Bend has become quite the place to live over the last 10-20 years! I wouldn't live there - too hot and dry. :dead: It's VERY close to a GREAT ski mountain though - Mt. Bachelor. :aok:

[Michele]

I think they look cool, but I don't know if I'd want to live in such a fabricated community...it seems like it would feel too fake or something. :dunno: Sad thing is, I didn't think the prices were too crazy - I'm jaded from the crazy prices here. :lol:
