What Awbrey Glen homes sold for over the last 12 months, what the HOA dues cover, how the golf club works, and what's for sale on Bend's west side now.
Awbrey Glen sits on Awbrey Butte on Bend's northwest side, built around an 18-hole golf course that opened in 1993. If you're weighing a move here, the questions are usually practical: what a home actually sells for, what the HOA and the club cost separately, how the neighborhood was built out, and whether the golf lifestyle is worth the extra layer of dues. Here's what we can verify, with the window and the sample size behind every figure, plus what the community's own sources say about the golf course, the club, and the trail that ends at the neighborhood's edge.
What does a home in Awbrey Glen cost right now?
Over the last 12 months, the median sale price in Awbrey Glen was $1,349,000, from 11 closings. That's the figure to anchor on if you're budgeting for the neighborhood today. There are 207 detached homes in Awbrey Glen, so 11 sales in a year works out to roughly 1 in 19 homes changing hands, a small, deliberate market rather than a churning one.
Right now there are 3 homes for sale in Awbrey Glen. We don't have a clean, publishable asking-price figure for that group of 3 to share here, so we won't guess at one. The Awbrey Glen community page carries the live listings with current prices, and that's the number to use, not a memory of what the neighborhood sold for last year.
How fast are homes in Awbrey Glen selling?
Over the last 12 months, the median time from listing to accepted contract in Awbrey Glen was 29.5 days, based on 10 homes that went under contract in that window. Combined with 11 closings over the same period, that tells you homes here don't sit for long once they're priced right, even in a neighborhood with only 207 homes total. It's a small enough sample that one unusual sale can move the number, so treat 29.5 days as a read on recent behavior, not a guarantee for your specific listing or offer.
What do the HOA dues in Awbrey Glen cover, and what don't they cover?
The median HOA due in Awbrey Glen is $87 a month, or $1,044 a year, based on the 50 current listings that report dues. That covers the gated residential sections themselves. It does not cover the golf course, the clubhouse, the pool, or the fishing lake. Those belong to Awbrey Glen Golf Club, a separate, member-owned organization, and the club took over ownership of the course and clubhouse in 2006, the same year the gated residential sections reached build-out. The HOA and the club are run independently of each other, so a homeowner in Awbrey Glen can pay HOA dues without ever joining the club, and a club member doesn't have to live inside the gates to belong.
That two-structure setup is the single most important thing to understand before you make an offer here. It means the number on the HOA disclosure isn't the whole story of what living in Awbrey Glen costs if golf, the pool, or the restaurant matter to you.
What is Awbrey Glen Golf Club, and what does membership get you?
The golf course was designed by Gene "Bunny" Mason and opened for play in 1993, after Brooks Resources Corporation broke ground in 1992. David McLay Kidd, the architect behind Tetherow and Bandon Dunes, later reworked Mason's original design. The course plays 7,007 yards from the back tees at par 72, across five sets of tees, according to the club's own site.
The practice side is built for people who take the game seriously and for kids who are just starting. There's a dual-ended driving range, practice bunkers, and putting and pitching greens staffed by PGA professionals, plus The Loop, a five-hole, par-three course the club describes as the only one of its kind in Central Oregon. The youth program runs through an Explorer group with year-round outdoor activities, and the head youth coach holds the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation's Master Kids Coach certification, a distinction the club says makes him the only coach with that credential in Central Oregon.
Beyond golf, membership includes a lap pool, a kiddie pool, and a hot tub open through the summer, plus a private catch-and-release lake stocked with rainbow trout. Nineteen, the club restaurant, serves lunch and dinner with Cascade Range views and is open to the public, not just members, so you can try the room before you join anything. The club currently counts roughly 375 members choosing among family, generational, golf, and sports membership options. A member-run nonprofit based at the club, Give Back, has distributed more than $1 million to Central Oregon families in need.
Guest access follows the same split as the HOA and the club. Sponsored guests can play the golf course, but the pool, the practice facility, and the fishing lake are reserved for members only. Read the full breakdown of amenities and access on the Awbrey Glen community page before you assume a perk comes with the house.
Is Awbrey Glen a full-time neighborhood or a second-home community?
Awbrey Glen is built for a household that wants the golf lifestyle and is willing to fund the club as a second, ongoing cost on top of the HOA. Club membership is optional, not required to own a home in the gated sections, so you can buy here and skip the club entirely. But the neighborhood's amenities, the pool, the practice facility, and the lake, are only reachable through membership, so a homeowner who opts out of the club is largely buying the address and the golf-community setting, not the golf-community lifestyle.
It's a poorer fit for a buyer who wants Awbrey Butte's setting without a club commitment, or who wants to step out the front door onto a trail rather than drive to reach one, a real trade-off we cover next.
What's winter like for a household in Awbrey Glen?
Mt. Bachelor is about 30 minutes southwest of Awbrey Glen by way of Century Drive, roughly 22 miles from the community. That drive time is worth knowing if skiing or riding is as much a part of your routine as golf, since it puts the mountain within an easy morning trip rather than a full outing. Beyond that drive time, we don't have a sourced figure for snow load, road conditions, or seasonal course closures specific to Awbrey Glen, so we're not going to estimate one here. If winter access is a deciding factor for you, ask us and we'll help you get a direct answer from the club and the neighborhood before you write an offer.
How close is Awbrey Glen to downtown Bend and the river?
Awbrey Glen sits on Awbrey Butte, on Bend's northwest side, on a site with outcroppings of lava rock and reddish basalt. Brooks Resources Corporation, the developer, says it preserved as many trees as possible during construction and applied fire-conscious building practices throughout.
The Deschutes River Trail's Awbrey Reach segment, built over a buried Tumalo irrigation canal, terminates inside the Awbrey Glen neighborhood, according to Bend Park and Recreation District. It runs 3.9 miles round trip on compacted gravel, with views down into the Deschutes River canyon and across to Riley Ranch Nature Reserve, and it connects north to the Archie Briggs Canyon Trail by way of a steep climb. The trade-off is access: parking is very limited on the Awbrey Glen end, so most people reach the trail by parking at Sawyer Park first, and the trail doesn't cross the river to Riley Ranch itself. So the trail is genuinely at the neighborhood's edge, but reaching it comfortably on a busy day usually means driving to Sawyer Park rather than walking out your own gate.
When were the homes in Awbrey Glen built, and what does that mean for a buyer?
Most of Awbrey Glen's 207 detached homes were built between 1996 and 2008, which lines up with what the community's own history says: the golf course opened in 1993 and the gated residential sections reached build-out in 2006. In practical terms, a buyer touring Awbrey Glen today is mostly touring homes from that mid-1990s-to-late-2000s window, not brand-new construction and not a neighborhood of teardown-and-rebuild lots. That's worth knowing walking into an inspection, since it sets a rough baseline for the age of a home's major systems even before you know the specific address.
What's for sale in Awbrey Glen right now?
As of this writing, 3 homes are for sale in Awbrey Glen. That's a small list in a 207-home neighborhood, which is typical for the community given how few homes changed hands over the last 12 months. Rather than post a snapshot that goes stale the day we publish it, we'd rather point you to the live listings on the Awbrey Glen community page, where the count and the prices update as the market moves.
