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.
