1893 Garden Ave #20, Eugene, OR 97403

"Neighbors here are friendly, educated and involved without being nosy. It is a neighborhood with many families, academics and professionals. Children have safe streets to walk to school and Edison is a terrific neighborhood school. The area attends Edison, Roosevelt and South Eugene High School so it has the best schools that 4J has to offer. The location is unbeatable close in yet feels like the walkable suburbs. I-5 is easily accessible, yet there is no noise or pollution due to Fairmount's location behind Hendrick's HIll. Bus lines are convenient, but many popular destinations in the neighborhood like the Eugene Bakery or Prince Pucklers are close by within walking distance. Prince Pucklers is a neighborhood hangout where you can meet or chat with people you know and their families. The ice cream is top notch too and was even featured in VIA magazine! Much of the neighborhood is beautiful well kept houses with the majority built between 1930-1950 with some other vintages mixed in. There are more long time owners than renters. Many of the renters living in the area are also long term. There are very few multiple unit properties. There are many great parks in the neighborhood including beautiful walking/running trails through Hendricks Park with azaleas and rhodies in bloom from Spring through Summer. Mid sized Washburne Park hosts sun worshippers, frisbee players, walkers and readers. Washburne also plays host to 1-2 free summer band concerts where neighbors bring a blanket and listen. There are two playgrounds one in Fairmount park has new playground equipment and features a water play area in the summer. Agate Playground has swings, climbing structures and benches where kids can finish their ice cream before they play. Fairmount is a great family neighborhood with something for everyone. I have lived in different areas in Eugene and different parts of the country, but this place feels like home."
