Woodsy community with new construction close to downtown Eugene

Laurel Hill is a Eugene community close to natural parks, local highways and the dining, retail and entertainment of both Eugene and Springfield. Residents are just 2 miles from the University of Oregon, so it's great for staff and faculty who want to be close to the school yet far enough that they don't have to live in student-populated areas. "Laurel Hill is zoned for highly rated schools in the 4J School District, and the community has gorgeous views. There's new construction here, but it is a little noisy with the freeway so close," says Realtor Alice Holmes with Windermere Real Estate, a fifth-generation Oregonian.

Craftsman-style homes, new and old

Homes with Craftsman-style features are the main feature here in Laurel Hill. There are traditional Craftsman bungalows from the 1950s and contemporary Craftsman homes built in the 2010s. Buyers will also find established split-level and midcentury homes. The growing neighborhood also has some opportunities to buy new construction. Homes are densely built but have private yards lined with Douglas firs and colorful maples. Prices in the area range between $400,000 and $1.4 million. New construction is typically on the higher end of the pricing scale.

Close to Eugene's oldest city park

The community's main attraction is its proximity to Eugene's natural wonders. Several hills with major hiking trails surround the area. Hendricks Park is Eugene's oldest city, encompassing acres of old-growth fir trees, well-maintained trails and sweeping city views. Moon Mountain City Park is an undeveloped nature reserve with acres of wildflower prairies and woodland. Families enjoy Laurel Hill Park, which has a colorful play area, a walking loop and a large, leafy field. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy proximity to Laurelwood Golf Course, a championship 18-hole course and a driving range with a restaurant. For indoor recreation, residents can head to the Eugene Family YMCA, located 3 miles away on 24th Street. It's close to the Amazon Pool, an outdoor aquatic facility that's a favorite in the summertime.

Easy access to Interstate 5

The community has direct access to the I-5, which can cause some traffic noise, but the benefit is that residents can move throughout the area quickly. For public transportation, residents are close to bus stops along Franklin Boulevard. Medical necessities can be treated at McKenzie Willamette Medical Center, about 4 miles away. Proximity to I-5 makes it easy to get to the nearest international airport in Portland.

Convenient to shopping in Eugene and Springfield

The neighborhood is a secluded wooded enclave, but it has direct access to I-5 and Franklin Boulevard, taking residents to retail and dining hubs. Downtown Eugene has coffee shops, boutique retailers, restaurants and bars for residents to enjoy. Springfield has grocery and big box stores like WinCo Foods, Walmart and Jerry's Home Improvement. Springfield is also home to The Shoppes at Gateway, which has retail stores, a Cinemark movie theater and big box stores like Target and Hobby Lobby. For local produce and crafts, residents can head to the Eugene Saturday Market for over 200 vendors, artisans, food vendors and music.
