Know the neighborhoods.
Every part of town has its own feel. Here's a quick, honest take on the areas we work in most, from people who live here. Ask us about any street and we'll tell you what it's really like.
South Eugene
South of downtown and stretching toward Spencer Butte, South Eugene is known for established, tree-lined streets, a mix of older homes and hillside views, and quick access to trails and parks. Many buyers look here for the schools and the walk-or-bike lifestyle.
Friendly Area
Named for Friendly Street, this southwest neighborhood has a small-town feel inside the city: bungalows and cottages, front porches, community gardens and neighbors who know each other. Homes here tend to move quickly when they're priced right.
Whiteaker
Just northwest of downtown near the Willamette River, the Whiteaker is Eugene's creative, eclectic corner, with murals, breweries, food carts and restaurants. You'll find older homes, small lots and newer infill, all close to the riverfront paths.
Ferry Street Bridge
Across the river from downtown, this area puts you near Alton Baker Park, the riverbank bike paths and shopping along Coburg Road. Streets are a mix of mid-century homes and newer neighborhoods, with easy access to the university and I-5.
Cal Young
In north Eugene, Cal Young offers quiet residential streets, cul-de-sacs and larger yards, with shopping and restaurants close by. It's a favorite for families who want space without leaving the city.
Santa Clara and River Road
North Eugene's Santa Clara and River Road areas mix newer subdivisions with older homes on bigger lots, some with room for gardens, shops or RV parking. The Willamette River greenway and paths are close.
Bethel
West Eugene's Bethel area is home to the Bethel School District and some of the city's more attainable prices, with a steady mix of single-level homes and newer construction.
Laurel Hill
Tucked into the hills in southeast Eugene, Laurel Hill feels wooded and private while staying close to the university and the freeway.
Springfield and Thurston
Eugene's neighbor to the east has its own downtown, its own school district and often more house for the money. East Springfield's Thurston area sits near the foothills and trails, with family neighborhoods and newer homes.
Coburg
Just north of Eugene, Coburg is a small town with a historic main street and a quieter pace, a few minutes from north Eugene shopping and I-5.
Creswell
South of Eugene along I-5, Creswell offers small-town living, acreage options and a commute of about twenty minutes into Eugene.
