Why Build in Bend?
Bend is one of the fastest-growing cities in Oregon — and for good reason. With 300+ days of sunshine, world-class outdoor recreation, and a tight-knit community feel, Central Oregon is one of the most desirable places in the Pacific Northwest to put down roots. Whether you're drawn to the Cascade foothills, the high desert aesthetic, or proximity to Mt. Bachelor, Palisade Homes can help you build exactly where you want to live.
Why Palisade Homes?
Unlike large production builders, Palisade Homes gives you direct access to the owner at every stage. Bill Lorenz has been building custom homes in Oregon since 2004, with a reputation built on transparent pricing, meticulous craftsmanship, and a process that keeps you informed from day one. Your home is built the way you want it — not the way a template says it should be.
