Centrally located urban neighborhood in Medford

Washington is a residential enclave bordering downtown Medford, attractive to homebuyers because of its convenient location and accessibility to urban amenities. Most single-family homes in Washington were built during the early to mid-20th century; because of this, fixer-uppers and historic properties are common throughout the area. First-time homebuyers and investors can usually find what they’re looking for, and residents can walk down well-maintained sidewalks to popular local restaurants, convenience stores, parks and schools. Students here are zoned for Medford Public Schools 549C, which receives an overall B-plus rating from Niche.

Older Craftsman homes and bungalows

Most of the housing in Washington consists of single-family homes and townhouses costing between $250,000 and $425,000. Prices spiked during COVID-19 and have remained above pre-pandemic levels ever since. “The average price for a three-bed three-bath home in west Medford is about $350,000, which for some folks moving in from out of the area can seem like a great price. But for locals, it is a bit hard to stomach,” says Taylor Lore, a Medford resident and broker with Coldwell Banker Pro West Real Estate. “I suspect the market will level off in another year or so as incomes rise and people adjust to the new normal.” Common housing styles in Washington include ranch-style residences, mid-century bungalows and homes with Craftsman-style architecture. Some properties have paved driveways and garages, but street parking is common.

Union Park renovated in 2014

Washington encompasses Union Park, a 1.38-acre outdoor space developed in the 1950s and renovated in 2014. The park features a playground and community garden and is the first in Medford to offer walking paths that light up at night for better visibility. Residents are also close to the Bear Creek Greenway, a 20-mile pedestrian pathway that travels through the city. It connects to the nearby Bear Creek Park, which “features a skate park, BMX course and a dog park,” Lore says. “A short drive outside Medford can also get you to the Rogue River, with tubing and rafting areas for great summer activities.” The neighborhood also borders Fichtner-Mainwaring Park, with its sand volleyball, tennis and basketball courts.

Proximity to downtown Medford shopping and dining

Washington is close to the center of the city, so residents can easily access dozens of well-known Medford shops and restaurants. “We have dozens of awesome Mexican food places, each with their own unique take on the classics,” Lore says. “My favorite must be the Comal Bar and Grill for their awesome Red Tacos.” El Molcajete Mexican Grill offers a range of Latin American dishes and vegetarian options, and Real Deal Café is a breakfast and lunch spot serving food with fresh, organic ingredients on its outdoor patio. Residents can head to several corner convenience stores throughout the neighborhood for basic groceries and household items, including Smart Choices Market, Minute Market and Stewart Avenue Cartwright’s Market. Weekly grocery shopping can be done at the nearby Woodland Heights Supermarket or the Medford Food Co-op located in the downtown area.
