La Pine Real Estate
La Pine was founded in the 19th century with Huntington Road as the main street. The fledgling community quickly grew and prospered until the combination of a failed community water system and rapid growth of Bend caused a slowdown to occur.[citation needed] Today, La Pine is beginning to grow once again, but this time as a commuter town to Bend, making Deschutes County one of the fastest growing counties in America.
La Pine had remained an unincorporated community for many years. A measure to incorporate in the 2000 elections was rejected by a 2-1 ratio. In the elections of 2006, another incorporation measure was placed on the ballot (one of two such measures in Oregon that year; the other being for Bull Mountain, Oregon). The La Pine measure passed, creating the City of La Pine. The city occupies 7 square miles, and at the time of incorporation, had 1,585 residents as of December 2006. Much of the former census-designated area lies outside the city limits.
