Before coming to Eugene this time to settle down, I have lived here a couple times before. My late husband and I used to travel all over the country. Never in one place for very long and so experienced the things different things each various city in many different states had to offer. the people, the layout, the transportation options as well as government benefits offered in the state, medical, residential, and food assistance and community help organizations.
There is a reason we kept coming back to Eugene, for starters the atmosphere, the people and community involvement are casually laid back and somehow exciting at the same time. If you are low to no income and need medical care, the state has available medical insurance for anyone who can't pay! Food assistance is easy to receive. and there are many organizations to help and inspire those in need.
One of the best things about Eugene is the scenery of the town itself! From city to forest its just beautiful!

Everyone is comfortable being weird here! Nobody bats an eye if someone walks down the street wearing fairy wings, goes to the store in their PJs, wears artistic makeup, or anything like that. People are friendly, approachable, and easy to get along with. There are a ton of good restaurants. One problem is that we have an extremely high rate of homelessness, and the city isn't handling it right (in my opinion). That being said, there are some great community organizations that help people in need as much as they can. Also, finding a place to live can be difficult for anyone, regardless of their income. If you don't apply for a property within a day or two of it being listed, you have no chance of getting it. Application fees are usually around $50. Property management companies also tend to take advantage of students who don't know their rights as tenants.
Great hiking and outdoor opportunities. University town with high emphasis on education! Green and environmentally conscious population. Big enough that you won't get bored but small enough that you might run into a friend at the store. Really cool community events, I highly recommend the Saturday Market. Overall a really great place to live if you like the outdoors or greenery.
