The Umpqua Valley presents forestland, rivers and parks
The community's largest, most popular gathering space is Millsite Park. Visitors come to play disc golf, walk the nature trail and compete on the soccer and baseball fields. The park also has a sand volleyball court, a camp for recreational vehicles and an outdoor amphitheater. Evergreen Park has pickleball and tennis courts, and its open fields feature a covered gazebo. Skaters and pet owners use the facilities at Stinebaugh Park, and Myrtle Creek Golf Club is open to the public. The South Umpqua Memorial Pool is open seasonally, and anglers and kayakers hit the South Umpqua River, which flows along the area's western border. To the east, Umpqua National Forest has caves to explore, horse trails and waterfalls. Snowmobilers and cross-country skiers hit the trails during the winter, and the fall is prime hunting season.

Homes on suburban roads and rural lots
Most of Myrtle Creek’s housing market comprises manufactured homes and single-family options. Some ranch-style houses have contemporary influences, and others are more traditional. Mountain cabins and bungalows are also common. Properties on the outskirts of town may occupy dozens of rural acres and have enough space for barns and stables. Homes closer to the heart of Myrtle Creek are more densely packed, creating a suburban, neighborly atmosphere. The median price is $311,000, below the national figure, though properties spanning hundreds of acres can surpass $1 million. “It’s one of the most desirable little towns in southern Douglas County, so prices can be a little higher than other nearby towns,” Ethington says.
Myrtle Creek homes are typically smaller, on modest lots.
