Urban commercial corridor East of Eugene
Thurston is a suburban neighborhood located on the far eastern side of Springfield, Oregon. The community has an active Main Street paired with distant views of mountain ranges filled with evergreens. The commercial corridor, also known as Highway 126, runs down the center of the community, leading past local shops and retail plazas. Beyond the residences are nature areas and the McKenzie River to the north. “Thurston offers more privacy than the rest of Springfield and is less busy,” says local resident Wayne Antone, a Realtor and the founder of Host Homes LLC.
Local boutiques and dining along Main Street
Locals do not have to leave the community to shop for groceries and other goods. Dari Mart has convenience items, while Albertsons is a one-stop shop to restock an empty kitchen and home supplies. Those seeking a caffeine boost can visit Old Crow Coffee or grab a bubble tea at More Boba. Toreros Mexican Family Restaurant is a popular establishment for margaritas and attentive service. Locals in the mood for Chinese-style takeout head to Ocean Garden. Conway’s Restaurant and Lounge is a no-frills hangout spot with a pool table and outdoor seating. Further west, there is more shopping and dining along Main Street. PublicHouse is a community gem with an onsite Whiskey Lab, live music, and several restaurants inside a refurbished church.
