Diverse architecture and a vibrant food-cart scene
The Friendly neighborhood is all about variety. Cuisines from around the globe are featured at the neighborhood food cart pod, and no two houses are alike. The neighborhood’s two largest parks offer amenities for a range of sports, from tennis and pickleball to baseball and disc golf. Cottages eclipsed by dense shrubbery may create a quiet suburban impression, but neighbors buzz about the food scene, especially on the weekends, with several small grocers providing Oregon produce.
Storybook cottages and ranch-style homes near College Hill
Homes in Friendly peek out onto sidewalk-lined streets from behind vibrant flower bushes, lush hedges and the occasional old-growth tree. Behind the tangle of green shrubbery, traditional cottages—many with Craftsman touches—add to the neighborhood’s storybook feel, fetching between $600,000 and $800,000. Though most of these homes were built in the 1940s and '50s, many come with upscale, modern updates. Cape Cods and Craftsman bungalows in the neighborhood were also largely constructed in the 1940s, with a wave of ranch-style homes following during the '50s and '60s. These homes range from $450,000 to $575,000. The eastern side of Friendly is often referred to as College Hill for the elevated terrain that overlooks the University of Oregon. “About 30% of homes [in Friendly] have pretty nice views, so people like to look at those,” says Darren Ricketts, a Realtor with eXp Realty. Four-bedroom homes in College Hill have sold for more than $1 million.
Small Cottage-style homes are found throughout the Friendly neighborhood.

Madison Meadow promotes biodiversity
Friendly has plenty of green space and athletic fields. At nearly 63 acres, Westmoreland Park has two tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a disc golf course, two baseball diamonds and a bike path. Less than 1.5 miles away, another two tennis courts, a baseball field and a basketball court make up Washington Park, where children can cool off from playground activities on the splash pad during the summer. Friendly Park has a playground and a sand pit.Not all of Friendly's green spaces have amenities. Madison Meadow is a 2-acre patch of land owned by a nonprofit dedicated to keeping it undeveloped. The space supports biodiversity within its suburban surroundings, attracting butterflies, bees, bats, deer and approximately 100 species of birds.
