Harrisburg offers quiet streets and Willamette Valley scenery
Harrisburg is a small town tucked away along the banks of the Willamette River in Oregon’s scenic Willamette Valley. With a historical downtown district, quiet residential streets and picturesque rural landscapes, it offers small-town living with plenty of outdoor recreation. It’s about 20 miles north of Eugene, the third-largest city in the state. “It’s a small town on the Willamette River surrounded by farmland. It’s very friendly and walkable. It feels very ‘Americana,’” says Realtor Laura Gillott of Keller Williams Realty Mid-Willamette, who’s been working the area since 1992.

A mix of old and new homes with river and mountain views
Harrisburg’s housing market is diverse, with home styles ranging from bungalows and ranch-style houses to more recently built contemporary homes. “You’ve got some homes that are over a century old, and then some from the 1960s and '70s. There are also some brand-new homes built in 2025. It’s a good mix,” Gillott says. Residential streets are typically quiet and free of through traffic, making it easier to walk and bike. A collection of homes on First Street looks out over the river, with distant views of the Oregon Coast Range mountains rising along the horizon. Prices range from around $250,000 to $600,000.
Ranch-style houses are one of many architectural types in Harrisburg.

Over 150 acres of parks with courts, playgrounds and views
Harrisburg has several parks on over 150 acres of land, with everything from riverside picnic spots to community playgrounds. Riverfront Park is among the most popular, offering trails, fishing docks and scenic vistas. “Riverfront Park is where the Fourth of July celebration takes place every year. There are vendors, a parade and a fireworks show right on the waterfront,” Gillott says. Public tennis courts, pickleball courts and a skate park are close by, right next to Harrisburg Elementary School. The town enjoys a mild climate with wet winters and warm, dry summers. The region is known for its fertile soil, making it ideal for agriculture and viticulture.
