A historic hidden gem in downtown Roseburg
There’s only one road in and out of Laurelwood. This small residential neighborhood near downtown Roseburg can only be accessed via West Madrone Street. “It’s a hidden gem on the east side of Interstate 5,” says David Jaques, Broker/Owner of Al Pine Real Estate 1, who has lived in the area for nearly four decades. “Roseburg doesn’t have a high crime area, but especially in this area, it feels very secure.” Established between 1921 and 1958, Laurelwood borders the South Umpqua River and has walkable streets lined with early 1900s homes. It sits next to Elk Island, a former campground that neighbors and the Elk Island Trading Group LLC are trying to renovate into a homeless camp. Once it’s up and running, the camp will provide shelter for up to ten people.
