What Is the 97403 Zip Code?
It is the oldest housing stock in the city — the middle house here was built around 1964, a decade earlier than the Eugene average — and the most expensive to buy, with sales running just past $600,000. It is also the smallest of Eugene's zip codes by volume: about 140 homes change hands in a year, against more than 600 in west and south Eugene. Campus proximity means a real share of the houses are rentals, so what comes up for sale is a narrower set than the neighbourhood's size suggests.
Eating and drinking in 97403
The strip along East 19th and Agate carries most of it: Studio One Café for breakfast, Agate Alley Bistro, Beppe & Gianni's Trattoria for Italian, and McMenamins East 19th Street Café a short walk from campus.
Parks, campus and the rest
Hendricks Park is Eugene's oldest city park and it sits inside this zip code — 80 acres of native forest with a rhododendron garden that draws people from the whole valley every spring.
The university brings the rest: Hayward Field, The Duck Store, and Laurelwood Golf Course on the hill above campus.
