Springfield suburb on the edge of Eugene
Gateway’s subdivisions and shopping centers west of the McKenzie River mark the entrance to Springfield, right off Interstate 5. Green spaces along the river are dotted in the northeast, while the neighborhood is still close to Eugene. “Springfield is like Eugene’s little brother. The only thing that divides them is the highway, which drives right down the middle,” says broker Katie Juth, who has been with Windermere Real Estate Lane County since 2019. “People think of them together since they kind of mush together, but they’re their own cities, so Springfield has its own mayor and utilities. They pay lower water and electric bills and have different rules and laws than some cities.”
Apartment complexes and cul-de-sacs of ranch-style and contemporary
While the housing market primarily consists of renters in apartments, paying between $1,000 and $1,900, single-family homes sit in cul-de-sacs throughout the area. Ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and 1970s list between $280,000 and $625,000. At the turn of the 21st century, contemporary homes, some with Craftsman features, were built. Prices range from $380,000 to $570,000. Manufactured homes in communities are listed between $20,000 and $160,000.
Ranch-style homes are found in the Gateway neighborhood of Springfield.
The Gateway neighborhood is nestled among mountains and green spaces in Oregon.

Traveling through Gateway and connections to Eugene
Local thoroughfares, including Gateway Street and Harlow Road, have dedicated bike lanes and bus stops that lead to nearby shopping centers and parks. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway runs along the neighborhood’s east side to the PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center, the city’s largest employer. Interstate 5 runs through the neighborhood’s west side and connects it with Salem in roughly 65 miles. Beltline Road, part of Randy Papé Beltline, is a local thoroughfare that leads 12 miles west to the Eugene Airport, for regional flights. Both Beltline Road and Oregon Route 126—or Highway 126—tie Springfield to Eugene around 7 miles away.
Playgrounds, paved paths and farming organic produce
Guy Lee Park’s 8 acres include two tennis courts and baseball fields. Gamebird Park’s has a full-size basketball court, which is connected to the park’s playground and open space by a paved trail. The end of the path reaches the FOOD For Lane County’s 5-acre farm, a community space where volunteers tend to organic produce. Lyle Hatfield Path’s paved surface runs for over a mile along the McKenzie River. As a part of Springfield, Gateway’s parks are maintained by the Willamalane Park and Recreation District. This system operates separately from the City of Springfield and consists of a board of elected officials.
Visitors can play a game of tennis on the courts at Guy Lee Park in Springfield.

Celebrating the home of the Simpsons
Every Friday following Labor Day, Downtown Springfield’s Main Street fills with local vendor booths for the Springfield Block Party, which includes live music and activities, like obstacle courses. “It’s Springfield’s largest event. People come from all over Lane County," Juth says. “Springfield is thought of as the city that inspired the city in ‘The Simpsons,’ so as you walk through, there are murals and people in Simpsons costumes you can take photos with.”
