My first home in Eugene

My first home in Eugene was a side by side duplex in the Jefferson-Westside neighborhood. My landlord lived next door, and having a close in, homey place to live made my move to Eugene to attend graduate school painless. Once I completed my degree, I was fortunate enough to land a downtown job where I could commute by walking. The building was constructed in the 1920s, before auto-oriented design took over, and the huge big leaf maple trees and setback sidewalk were key attractants for me as a young planning student and emerging professional. If this duplex were for sale I would seriously consider buying it and moving back in to one side after my kids leave my house. I could rent the other side or use it for longer-term visits from family members.
