NEIGHBORHOODS OF SISTERS

Sisters is home to more than 10,000 people — but most of us live in neighborhoods you can’t see from Highway 20. Sisters Country is dotted with forest and sagebrush subdivisions. To the west lies Black Butte Ranch, which is a residential community as well as a resort, along with neighborhoods like Cascade Meadow Ranch, Tollgate, and Crossroads, tucked away in the ponderosas. Off to the north lie neighborhoods like Sage Meadow and Indian Ford Meadow, all the way out to Whychus Canyon Estates. To the east are neighborhoods nestled in sagebrush and looking out to mountains.

These neighborhoods are unique — and they’re not making any more of them. Oregon land use law no longer allows for forest and sagebrush subdivisions, so these neighborhoods are something special.

In town, there are a number of distinctive neighborhoods, from The Woodlands, to the Village at Cold Springs. Pine Meadow Village and ClearPine on the west side of town, to Timber Creek and Saddleback and others on the east end. There is a mix of single-family homes and townhomes in many of these neighborhoods, and Sisters has also recently added some apartments.

This list is far from comprehensive. Some folks like living in town on a smaller lot or in a townhome; some want a quarter-acre lot or something larger to stretch out in. Sisters accommodates all tastes and preferences.
