A well-regarded southern Oregon suburb

Hucrest is a large suburb that developed in the late 1950s in southwest Oregon. It borders the South Umpqua River and downtown Roseburg but has an identity of its own. “People say they’re from Hucrest, rather than just Roseburg,” says David Jaques, Broker/Owner of Al Pine Real Estate 1, who has lived in the area for nearly four decades. The neighborhood is very walkable with its proximity to the downtown area. People can walk their kids to the namesake elementary school or the extensive Stewart Park. “It’s a very designated area with a good school that’s very sought after. When people see a Hucrest address, they want it,” Jaques says.

Living in 1960s ranch-style homes

Late 1900s ranch-style homes with neat lawns and modest-sized driveways range between $350,000 and $450,000, depending on the number of rooms. “People are attracted to this area because the homes are larger and well maintained,” says Courtney Alford, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Southern Oregon who’s been selling homes for nearly a decade. New traditional homes cost between $500,000 to $700,000. No matter the architecture, homes lead to wide sidewalks for daily strolls.

Summer festivals and six-week-long concerts

People watch blockbusters at Roseburg Cinema. Umpqua Valley Arts is a school and museum that offers adult and youth art classes, a ceramic studio, exhibits and a gift gallery. It hosts an annual Summer Arts Festival that features live music and a youth arts zone on the last weekend of June. Music on the Half Shell is a six-week concert summer series that occurs in June at Stewart Park. The park also showcases family-friendly movies in the warmer months.

Oregon wildfire season

One downside to all the nature in the area is wildfire season, a period from July to October when the area is highly prone to forest fires. Luckily, there are federal forest policies that help reduce them. FEMA, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offers tips and resources. Also, The Douglas Forest Protective Association and Coos Forest Protective Association work with the Oregon Department of Forestry to prevent wildfires.
