Quiet residential area minutes from University of Oregon
The desirable neighborhood of South University offers residents easy access to the University of Oregon’s historic enclaves.

Those with younger students have access to schools that are just as good. "The area is part of the 4J School District, which is highly rated and sought after by families," says Realtor and fifth-generation Oregonian Alice Holmes with Windermere Real Estate. There are comfortable midcentury homes, new construction and opportunities to buy student housing here. The neighborhood is also close to outdoor amenities and downtown entertainment, making it a community with much to offer.
