Rockwood

As its name suggests, West University is located directly west of the University of Oregon. Some parts of the neighborhood stretch into Downtown Eugene, giving residents easy access to the excitement of the city. Naturally, the area has a strong college-town feel and is pedestrian-friendly, so you’ll see residents walking or bicycling through the streets. Catering to the college crowd, West University is filled with trendy restaurants, casual eateries, cozy coffeehouses and tea shops, vintage stores, and grocers. When residents aren’t enjoying West University’s abundance of amenities, you’ll find them canoeing or dog walking at Alton Baker Park a mile north of the neighborhood. The Autzen Stadium, home of the University of Oregon Ducks, is located north of the park as well. West University has a variety of rental options available including student apartments, luxury condos, newly build high-rises, and large single-family houses.
