The celebration continued all weekend long, with grand opening events on Saturday, Aug. 1 and Sunday, Aug. 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All events were held at 2696 NW 29th Street, Redmond, OR 97756. Community members and media were invited to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hearthstone is the newest community from Hayden Homes, founded in Redmond in 1989. It is the first community to open within the approximately 400-acre Redmond Ranch, an up-and-coming area in NW Redmond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The community is thoughtfully designed to offer a distinctive living experience. Attached townhomes include an enhanced exterior package exclusive to Hearthstone: masonry accents, striking black windows, upgraded front and garage doors, and sophisticated paint schemes that create a cohesive streetscape with standout curb appeal. Homeowners will also enjoy proximity to a community park, nearby trail systems and convenient highway access for easier daily commutes and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the ribbon-cutting, Hayden Homes presented a special philanthropic gift to Leadership Redmond<\/a>, the Chamber\u2019s nonprofit dedicated to educating, enhancing and developing leaders to participate in key decision-making positions within Redmond. These leadership opportunities include volunteerism, membership on community boards or government commissions and committees, and even elected positions within city, county or state government. Hearthstone offers new homeownership opportunities for Redmond\u2019s young professionals, and the donation reiterates Hayden Homes\u2019 commitment to Redmond\u2019s economic vitality as well as the homebuilders\u2019 Give As You Go\u2122<\/a> philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHayden Homes has been a cornerstone of Redmond\u2019s growth and is a true partner in shaping our future,\u201d said Eric Sande, Executive Director of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce. \u201cThis local homebuilder has created quality, attainable housing while investing in the economy and livability of our community. The launch of Hearthstone and continued investment in NW Redmond offers new homeownership opportunities for young professionals, small business owners, families, and the people who make our city thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For nearly 38 years, Hayden Homes has continued to build in its hometown to provide a real path to homeownership for working families\u2013the core focus of the company since its founding. Without housing affordability, community members must look further and further away from their workplaces for a place to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Across Redmond, housing affordability is a major challenge. As of July 2026, the median home sales price is $519,818 (Zillow ZHVI), yet a median\u2011income Redmond household of four earns $120,200 annually (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Bend\u2011Redmond FMR Area) and can afford a home priced no higher than $500,446* without becoming housing cost\u2011burdened.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n This creates a nearly $20,000 gap between the typical home price and what the median household can realistically afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hearthstone at Redmond Ranch fills this gap and then some with starting prices of $374,990\u2014more than $125,000 below the median sale price and reachable by households earning at or below 74% area median income\u2014without government subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday\u2019s ribbon cutting is a milestone moment,\u201d said Brett Swanson, Regional Director at Hayden Homes. \u201cHearthstone signals a bright future centered on livability, affordability, and family. Hayden Homes is proud to bring Hearthstone to our hometown, guided by our Give As You Go\u2122 philosophy\u2014delivering accessible homeownership and a beautifully designed community where local families and our workforce can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the grand opening weekend, attendees toured model homes, picked up swag, and entered a raffle for concert tickets and local gift cards. Buyers who purchase at Hearthstone during the month of August will receive the first year of annual HOA dues paid by Hayden Homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about Hearthstone, the ribbon cutting, and grand opening weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Driving directions: <\/strong>From Hwy 126: Turn north onto SW Rimrock Way, continue onto NW 19th St, turn left onto NW Spruce Ave, turn left onto NW Northwest Way, immediately turn right onto NW Spruce Ave into the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About Hayden Homes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Established in Redmond, Oregon in 1989, Hayden Homes has provided over 28,000 new homes to price-conscious, value-driven homebuyers in underserved, secondary markets throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
