NEIGHBORHOOD SYNOPSIS
Sherman Heights/Pony Creek
The city of North Bend was incorporated in 1903, and the Sherman Heights/Pony Creek area consists of a good portion of the downtown area, as well as the primary shopping district. In the 1960s and the early 1970s, the wetlands and tidal areas along Pony Creek were filled in and developed, providing prized land to build the North Bend High School and Middle School, as well as the Pony Village Mall. Covering the southeast quadrant of the city, including the Edgewood Subdivision, the neighborhood is bordered by the bay on the east, Virginia Avenue to the north, Broadway Avenue on the west, and the city limits (just north of Thompson Rd) on the south.
The Sherman Heights/Pony Creek area really comprises the heart of North Bend, as it consists of not only the primary shopping district, with Pony Village Mall (largest indoor mall on the Oregon coast – built in 1960) at its center, but also has all but one North Bend School within its borders, as well as the greatest number of arts and entertainment options (Pony Village Cinema, Little Theater on the Bay, and North Bend Lanes, to name a few). Most of the city’s churches and restaurants are also located here. There are two parks, and an Olympic sized public swimming pool, as well.
In September 2010, the homes for sale in this neighborhood ranged in price from $69,000 to $600,000, most of which were below $200,000. The homes sold in the neighborhood 6 months prior to this period were as varied in price and size as the styles and age of homes built in this area. The average sale price was $155,231. The homes in the Sherman Heights area were primarily built in the 1st half of the 20th Century, with a few exceptions. In and around the Pony Creek area and the Edgewood Subdivision, the homes are latter 20th Century vintage with a scattered few constructed in the last 10 years. Most homes are of wooden construction, and vary widely in style, depending greatly upon the year constructed.
