Friendly Neighborhood
Each of Eugene’s twenty neighborhoods has its own unique charms. But the neighborhood we’ve seen popping up the most lately in property searches on our website is none other than the Friendly Street neighborhood.
Maybe it’s the name. Finding your home is, in large part, about connecting you and your family to your wider community. Ideally, that community is going to be, well, a friendly one, and the Friendly neighborhood certainly delivers.
It’s an eclectic place with a wide range of properties. Being in the heart of Eugene, it’s a melting pot for families and young professionals looking for their own little slice of the Eugene life. Your kids will have plenty of places to play and explore, and they’ll be close to some excellent schools.
At the same time, there’s a certain salt-of-the-earth feeling to it. Friendly was traditionally a working-class neighborhood, with easy access to the lumber mills and other industries at the western edge of the city.
Investors, young professionals, and working families take note: this is fast becoming one of the city’s most-desired neighborhoods. In the past several years, eco-friendly townhouse developments have sprouted out around the neighborhood’s central hub at Friendly and 28th, adding an urban touch generally not found elsewhere in Eugene.
With these developments have come food carts and increasing foot traffic to the well-loved Friendly Street Market, an area fixture, and J-Tea, a teahouse featuring some of Taiwan and mainland China’s finest loose-leaf varieties. Oh, there’s a beer cart, too: with B’s Taphouse, the good times and local microbrews flow freely, perfect for hot sunny days.
Traditionally, the west side of Friendly, below College Hill, was a working-class neighborhood. There are a variety of homes with plenty of mid-century ranches and bungalows, many of them lovingly remodeled, along with pockets of larger, higher-end homes. Washington Park is one of the city’s finest medium-size public parks, and Westmoreland Park features frisbee golf, a quintessentially Eugene past-time. Shopping and restaurants are easily accessible off 18th and Chambers.
Up College Hill on the east side, you’ll find older homes ranging from higher-end to luxury. With their secluded vibe, it can be easy to forget that you are smack-dab in the heart of Eugene. Downtown is just north, the University of Oregon just East, and South Eugene just south.
Walkability, if you had any doubts, is a pretty big perk here. Washington Park is centrally-located and Westmoreland Park is just west, with Albertsons, Bi-Mart, and several restaurants nearby.
If you’re feeling spry, you can climb or cut around College Hill and descend onto Willamette Street, South Eugene’s central artery for shopping and restaurants. Continue east, and you’ll arrive at Amazon Park, one of the city’s largest.
Part of our job as real estate agents is to forecast future real estate trends, and we see Friendly as Eugene’s most up-and-coming spot.
Home prices here are bound to trend upward. When affordable starter homes go on the market here, they go fast, and bidding wars are common. Once you land here though, the neighborhood lives up to its moniker. This is a genuinely friendly, close-knit place, where backyard barbecues and sidewalk conversations are the order of the day.
