West Eugene
Travels along LTD buses and local thoroughfares
The Lane Transit District (LTD) bus service serves West Eugene with stops along West 11th Avenue, part of Oregon Route 126, the neighborhood’s primary thoroughfare. It leads nearly 3 miles east to Downtown Eugene. Buses also line Seneca Road, a north- and south-running road, and West First Avenue, a west- and east-bound road lined with industrial buildings. The Sacred Heart Medical Center of Peace Health is around 8 miles from West Eugene, and McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center is roughly 9 miles away. Oregon routes 569 and 99 connect the community with the greater Eugene area, including the Eugene Airport, a regional airport about 8 miles away.West 11th Avenue shopping center selections
Fred Meyer and major retailers, including Target, Lowe’s and Walmart, are in shopping centers along West 11th Avenue. Specialty and hobby stores such as Radar Toys line strip malls in these centers. Local restaurant chains are also on West 11th Avenue, including Bagel Sphere, which serves hot breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Grill masters stamp an "X" with a skull and crossbones on the top bun of every burger they serve at Toxic Burger, a local favorite.

Wetlands, disc golf and Fern Ridge Path
During the 1990s, a coalition of local, state and federal land management agencies joined nonprofits to restore Amazon Creek's wetland habitat. Fern Ridge Path, a nearly 7-mile multiuse trail, cuts through the West Eugene Wetlands. The trail connects the area’s nature preserves and prairies, including Tsal Luk-wah—or “river of grass”—and Willamette Daisy Meadow. The Stewart Pond Disc Golf Course’s 18 holes are located within Bertelsen Nature Park. "The whole culture of West Eugene is about getting to know the area and the neighborhood. A lot of people spend their time outdoors in the summer," says Realtor Tom Richards, who has lived in Eugene for over 30 years and sold homes since 1992.

Most of West Eugene is zoned for Eugene School District 4J, also known as “4J.” Schools include McCornack Elementary School, Kennedy Middle School and Churchill High School. Both the elementary and middle schools receive B grades from Niche. The high school, which helps students find internships and job shadowing opportunities, maintains a B-plus.

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.
