The answer
Eugene Airport is Mahlon Sweet Field (EUG), at 28801 Douglas Drive, about seven miles northwest of downtown. The terminal is open 24 hours. City of Eugene Public Works runs it — not a private hub. Official visitor page: https://www.eugene-or.gov/1696/Airport-Visitors Parking: https://www.eugene-or.gov/1720/Parking FlyEUG: https://www.flyeug.com/ Phone 541-682-5430. It is the fifth-largest commercial airport in the Pacific Northwest by passenger volume. Direct flights rotate; confirm the current map on flyeug.com, not a blog from last year. For a house hunt: Santa Clara and Bethel sit closer to the field than South Hills or Springfield. Cal Young is still a reasonable 15–20 minutes in light traffic. Game Saturdays and fog mornings change that. Do not pick a house from the runway noise overlay without walking it. Shawna grew up here — this is the airport we actually use, not PDX-by-default.

What ranks on page one — and what we add
Google’s first page is eugene-or.gov, Wikipedia, flyeug.com, Travel Oregon, Allegiant, and Expedia. Those pages should win ‘EUG parking rates’ and ‘flights from Eugene.’ We cite them. The gap is relocators asking whether EUG is real enough to skip Portland International, and which zip sits on the airport side of town.
Distance, parking, and the show-day trap
Seven miles sounds like nothing until you time it at 4:30 p.m. on a Friday or after an Autzen kickoff. Build a buffer. Parking products change — short-term, long-term, economy — so the city parking page is the source of truth, not a screenshot in this article. Rideshare and limited transit exist; most buyers still drive.
Which neighborhoods sit on the airport side
Santa Clara and River Road are the north-west grid. Bethel is west. Cal Young is north-east of downtown but still a straight shot compared with south 97405. Springfield and Glenwood add the river and I-105. If your brief is ‘close to EUG for Monday flights,’ we start north and west, not a South Hills view you will hate in January fog.
What this page is not
Not a flight search, not PDX vs EUG airline schedules, and not the moving-to-Eugene tour. Those are flyeug.com, the airline, and /moving-to-eugene-oregon. Here the job is: can you actually use this airport, and which street makes that true.

A real miss
They booked the 6 a.m. assuming South Hills
A couple under contract in south 97405 loved the deck. Their first winter flight was fog plus a ridge they had never driven in the dark. We now time the actual driveway to EUG before anyone writes ‘close to the airport’ on a South Hills offer.
Eugene airport — questions
Where is Eugene Airport?+
28801 Douglas Drive, about seven miles northwest of downtown Eugene. Official: www.eugene-or.gov/1696/Airport-Visitors
Is Eugene Airport open 24 hours?+
The terminal is listed as open 24 hours on the city’s Airport Visitors page. Airline counters and TSA follow flight times — confirm your itinerary.
How far is Eugene Airport from downtown?+
About seven miles. Plan 15–25 minutes in light traffic, more on Duck Saturdays, fog, or I-105 backups.
Where do I park at EUG?+
City parking page: www.eugene-or.gov/1720/Parking Rates and lot names change. Do not use an old blog.
Can I skip Portland International and fly Eugene?+
Often yes for West Coast and a short list of hubs. Confirm current nonstops on www.flyeug.com/ PDX still wins some international and long-haul connections.
Which Eugene neighborhoods are closest to the airport?+
Santa Clara, Bethel, and River Road. Cal Young is still reasonable. South Hills and far Springfield are the wrong default if the brief is Monday flights.
Is Eugene Airport loud for nearby houses?+
Some streets hear it. Walk the house at a departure bank, not only at noon on a Sunday. We will not guess an overlay from a listing photo.
Who runs Eugene Airport?+
The City of Eugene (Public Works). Department home: www.eugene-or.gov/4430/Airport
