Amazon
Suburban Neighborhood in Eugene, Oregon
Lane County 97403, 97405
Locals live in various single-story, mid-century homes
Amazon offers a collection of ranch-styles, craftsman bungalows and cottages built between 1930 and 1970. And homes typically sit further back on their quarter-acre lots. Prices for these houses range from $300,000 to $650,000 for two or three-bedroom models and $400,000 to $850,00 for four-bedroom houses. Amazon streets are leafy and sometimes tunneled from arched branches that extend over the pavement. Nearly every street has a sidewalk shaded from the trees, so locals often enjoy a walk when the weather allows. Driveways are more common than garages, and almost every part of Amazon also has plenty of room for off-street parking.

Locals hit the trails at Amazon Park
Amazon earns its name from its dynamic outdoor recreation area and central creek. Amazon Park spans nearly 100 acres, including two community centers and the only outdoor pool in the city. Local athletes enjoy the park's tennis courts and ball fields, and joggers hit the weaving trail network of the North and South Amazon Running Trail System. Other park amenities include a skateboard bowl and a dog park. Plus, locals can access the wet prairie areas and ash woodlands branching off Amazon Creek. The Amazon Community Center provides residents with all sorts of classes and activities, like abstract painting, clay hand-building and poetry classes. "Amazon is a very quiet, family-oriented community, and at the community center, we have several programs geared toward youth and families," Rose says. "We have summer camps, arts-based camps and two preschool classrooms. Plus, we have your standard fitness classes." Meanwhile, the Hilyard Community Center offers customized programs through the Accessible Pursuits program, which customizes particular recreation services for those of all abilities.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
