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.
Local boutiques and dining along Main Street
Locals do not have to leave the community to shop for groceries and other goods. Dari Mart has convenience items, while Albertsons is a one-stop shop to restock an empty kitchen and home supplies. Those seeking a caffeine boost can visit Old Crow Coffee or grab a bubble tea at More Boba. Toreros Mexican Family Restaurant is a popular establishment for margaritas and attentive service. Locals in the mood for Chinese-style takeout head to Ocean Garden. Conway’s Restaurant and Lounge is a no-frills hangout spot with a pool table and outdoor seating. Further west, there is more shopping and dining along Main Street. PublicHouse is a community gem with an onsite Whiskey Lab, live music, and several restaurants inside a refurbished church.

Annual events in Springfield
The city of Springfield has several community events throughout the year. Two of the most notable are The Springfield Filbert Festival, commemorating the hazelnut’s role in the local economy, and The Block Party, which shuts down Main Street at the end of summer.
Ranch-styles and Colonial-inspired homes
Along the residential streets are sidewalks often occupied by bicyclists and pedestrians. The housing stock includes a number of 20th-century ranch-style houses with driveways and two-car garages. Split levels and bi-level homes blend in seamlessly with Thurston’s gently sloping landscape. There are also Colonial-inspired dwellings with vinyl siding or board and batten exteriors. Residents hoping to build a dream home from the ground up may find available lots in the Mountaingate development. Thurston residences range in price from $350,000 to around $600,000.
