The university atmosphere gives this neighborhood an eclectic energy

University Fun-Filled Nature Park-Like

The South University neighborhood abuts the south border of the University of Oregon, giving students and employees an easy commute to the school. South University combines residential homes with green spaces offering excellent views of Eugene. The city's downtown and lively commercial district lie just two miles west, allowing residents to reach it with a quick bus ride from their apartments.

South University residents love the outdoors, and the 80-acre Hendricks Park provides ample recreational activities. Stroll among the Douglas fir trees and view thousands of rhododendrons and other plants in the Rhododendron Garden. Use binoculars to identify the many bird species in the park, or take a picnic basket and relax among the wildflowers. Those interested in doing their part to preserve this historic green space can volunteer with the Friends of Hendricks Park.
