Living Car-Light

Bikes, buses and transit life at Downtown Eugene’s best address

There’s a special kind of freedom that comes with leaving your car keys behind. At Gordon Lofts, that freedom isn’t just possible, it’s built into your daily life. Nestled in the heart of Eugene’s 5th Street Public Market District, Gordon Lofts places you within easy reach of everything you need — from local cafés and boutiques to bike paths and bus routes that connect you seamlessly to the rest of the city.


A Neighborhood Designed for Movement

Living downtown means more than proximity, it means connection. Gordon Lofts boasts a Walk Score of 97 and a Bike Score of 100, placing residents in one of Eugene’s most accessible neighborhoods. You’re just steps from groceries, fitness studios, art galleries and restaurants — and when you’re ready to explore farther, you’ll find every kind of transit within minutes.


• Bike paths run along the Willamette River and through the 5th Street Public Market District, linking to the University of Oregon and Skinner Butte Park.

• With the Eugene Station hub only a short walk away, public transportation becomes a reliable, sustainable alternative to driving. It’s also a stress-free way to travel during Eugene’s rainy season.

Amtrak is within walking distance, making regional and coastal adventures a breeze..


Bike-Friendly by Design

Eugene is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the Pacific Northwest and Gordon Lofts keeps pace. Secure indoor bike storage and nearby repair stations make two-wheeled commuting simple. Take your morning ride along the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Trail, grab a coffee at Provisions and be back home before your first meeting.


For residents who ride occasionally rather than daily, local bike-share programs and nearby rentals offer easy access without the need for ownership.


A Greener Way to Live

Choosing to live car-light is more than convenience, it’s a conscious decision that supports sustainability and community. It deepens your connection to the city itself, inviting you to experience the neighborhood, your neighbors, and the vibrant energy around you with greater intention. For many residents, it’s part of the reason they chose Gordon Lofts in the first place.
