Farmland and fruit orchards become southwest subdivisions
Land that once was ripe with fruit trees and farms has made way for a collection of recently developed subdivisions in Southwest Medford. “That whole area used to be farmland and pear orchards,” says Chelle Fowler, a broker with Keller Williams of Southern Oregon. “Now, they are selling the big farmhouses, taking [them] down and building subdivisions. There’s a lot of new construction coming about and expansive growth.” Along with recently built contemporary traditional homes, the neighborhood offers easy access to local dining, plenty of grocers, golf and downtown Medford.
Southwest Medford has plenty of open space.

Nine-hole course next to Fichtner-Mainwaring Park
Opportunities for outdoor recreation abound in the northeast corner of the neighborhood.

The park is also the center of action during the annual Medford Cruise.
Just next door, the Stewart Meadows Golf Course boasts nine holes, arranged on 62 acres of land with four large ponds and a winding creek.
The Medford Cruise car show
Every summer, around Father’s Day, car enthusiasts gather in Fichtner-Mainwaring Park for the Saturday Show n’ Shine portion of the Medford Cruise classic car show. People admire classic models in mint condition while judges evaluate the participating vehicles. “It’s popular,” Fowler says. “Young people come from California and Washington to go to that show.” After the park display, car owners cruise along the streets of Downtown Medford, a tradition that started in 1986.

Increased risk of wildfire
The farmland and green space that surrounds the neighborhood, paired with the region's hot summers and arid climate, increase the risk of potential wildfire and decreased air quality. Medford provides evacuation checklists and travel routes, among other resources, to residents of the city.
