Local Landmark
Glenwood Riverfront Park (Willamette River)
Glenwood Blvd, Springfield, OR 97401
The Glenwood Riverfront — currently the focus of Springfield's ambitious Glenwood Riverfront Redevelopment Master Plan — sits along the Willamette River at the western edge of the Glenwood neighborhood. This developing waterfront area, with its proposed promenade, riverfront park, and bike path, is transforming Glenwood into one of the most exciting neighborhoods in the Eugene-Springfield metro. Long-time Glenwood residents are committed to aging in place to witness and enjoy this transformation.
About Glenwood
Glenwood is a transitional neighborhood situated between Eugene and Springfield along the Willamette River, technically within Springfield's city limits but geographically adjacent to Eugene's eastern boundary. The neighborhood is undergoing significant transformation through Springfield's Glenwood Riverfront Redevelopment Master Plan, which envisions a vibrant mixed-use waterfront district with a riverfront park, promenade, and bike path. Long-time residents are increasingly motivated to age in place as the neighborhood's value and amenities grow.
Glenwood's housing stock is a mix of older industrial-era worker's housing (1920s–1940s), 1950s–1960s ranch homes, and some newer construction. Many homes are modest in size with original bathrooms and narrow doorways. The neighborhood's flat terrain along the river makes most accessibility modifications straightforward.
Glenwood's ongoing redevelopment and rising property values are motivating long-time residents to invest in their homes rather than sell. Many older Glenwood homeowners are making accessibility improvements as part of broader home renovation projects. The neighborhood's flat terrain and proximity to both Eugene and Springfield medical services make it well-suited for aging in place.

We handle all permit applications on your behalf and are familiar with Springfield's specific inspection requirements and building department workflows. Springfield Utility Board water has higher mineral content than Eugene — a factor we account for in shower tile and fixture selection.
"A1 came to our Glenwood home the day after my father was discharged from RiverBend. They assessed the whole house, installed grab bars and a walk-in shower, and had everything done before he was fully back on his feet. The VA paperwork was handled entirely by them."
