Washburne District
Grocery Outlet and Main Street Market
The Main Street area downtown features plenty of places to dine and shop for groceries, butcher-cut meats, organic health foods and other essentials. Discount supermarket chain Grocery Outlet offers brand-name products and goods. While Main Street Market has fewer items, folks shop here for fresh local organic produce and specialty products. With an outdoor naturalist character to the community, enthusiasts can shop for kayaks, bicycles and camping gear at businesses such as Oregon WaterShed and Len’s Bikes. Residents can sometimes have difficulty choosing where to eat downtown with restaurants serving various cuisines, including Mongolian barbecue, American-Chinese takeout, Mexican taquerias, Italian pizzerias and classic American diners and cafes. With theaters, antique furniture stores and bars along the roadway, adding other activities to a date night or a leisurely weekend afternoon close to home is easy.

Autzen Stadium and Eugene Science Center
In the fall, the roar of fans at the University of Oregon’s Autzen Stadium travels throughout the sprawling riverside park. Aspiring brainiacs can also check out the kid-friendly Eugene Science Center for hands-on lessons with its interactive exhibits and planetarium.Homes close to urban amenities
Arranged in a classic urban grid pattern, Springfield’s downtown area mainly features older homes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, just a few blocks away from the myriad of restaurants, shops, museums and venues on its vintage, tree-lined Main Street corridor. Home prices vary significantly throughout the community. With an average value of $400,000, housing costs here are on par with the rest of the city. For around $300,000, prospective buyers can close on a modest one-story, 1,000-square-foot home. Upward of $450,000, larger historic properties with large front porches, fenced yards and original hardwood floors attract buyers.

Willamalane Kids Club at elementary School
Students in the community can attend Two Rivers-Dos Rios Elementary School, which includes English Language Development and Talented and Gifted programs for kids. Kids can continue playing and learning in the after-school Willamalane Kids Club program through the local Parks and Recreation department. Niche gives the school a C rating. From there, kids can advance to Hamlin Middle School and Springfield High School. Niche gives both secondary schools a C rating as well.

Island Park and Alton Barker Park
Folks gather to swim and lounge by the water west of the downtown area at Island Park, a relatively small green space by the river featuring trails, bike paths and a gazebo. The city hosts summer concerts and other warm-weather events, including the 4th of July “Light of Liberty” celebration and fireworks show. While there’s plenty to do at Island Park, residents can venture farther along the West D Street Greenway to explore even more trails, beaches, playgrounds and other amenities at Alton Barker Park.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
