Characteristics

Transportation

Goshen is especially car friendly. Most of the street infrastructure is appropriate for driving, and nearby highways, such as Pacific Highway, are particularly easy to reach from any location in this part of the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. On the other hand, getting around by transit can be challenging in Goshen by reason of the low service level. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines traversing the community, and bus stops are generally around the corner. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very practical for house buyers in this community because almost no daily needs can be carried out without a vehicle. It is also difficult to commute by bike in Goshen because there are a fair number of hills to challenge cyclists, and there are very few bike lanes. Nonetheless, there is a rather high density of cyclists.
