Bend is lovely. I'm curious, what was it like finding a place to live? Bend is somewhat notorious right now for it's <1% rental vacancy rates, which may be the lowest in the country. There was a news story earlier this year about a local medical center's new hires having a hard time finding a place to live -- I think one person even gave up and left their job because of it.

It was tough: especially since we have kids and wanted to make sure my daughter is in a good school.

OTOH, it's still a lot cheaper than Boulder, meaning hundreds of extra dollars a month in our pockets. And the place we did end up with is very nice.
