Overall, I love Eugene. I grew up here and have moved back as an adult. This city has everything! Eugene has wonderful shopping centers, tons of amazing restaurants and breweries, lots of entertainment including performances at the Hult Center, good schools such as the University of Oregon and Lane Community College, and great ways to network your business through the local chamber offices. The only thing I wish I could change about Eugene is how crowded it feels at times. There is a large population and sometimes its super busy, which can clog the roads occasionally. The great things Eugene offers completely outweigh the rest!
Amazing diverse location! Between beaches and mountains, surrounded by forests and waterfalls. Even the desert isn’t too far of a drive. The Eugene airport is a breeze, non stop flights to all major western cities and it’s super quick to Seattle or San Fran where a lot of business people are headed. The fresh air and friendly people make it a great place to live.
After living in Eugene for only a week, I have become enamored with this town! Full of life and culture, I see and experience new things everyday! Additionally, Eugene is an outdoorsy town. There are so many parks, trails, and outdoor spaces for it's occupants to enjoy. As for the people, there is a common attitude of kindness and openness. There is a relaxed vibe, and those who I've seen seem quite happy. I am looking forward to spending the next 4 years here.
