Postwar and later single family, plus newer subdivisions on the west side. Generally one of the more accessible price points inside Eugene, which makes it a frequent starting point for first-time buyers.
The Fern Ridge Path runs out toward the reservoir. Golden Gardens has ponds and trails on the west edge.
Bethel School District 52 serves the area with its own high school.
