I love it here! I became who I am today by moving here. I got my start in college, found my dream job, married my forever best friend, and we now share one son together who is absolutely thriving in life! I would not be where I am today had I not moved here. And although it is a small town, there is quite a lot to do here. It kind of stinks that it rains so much, but we have Saturday Market, which is downtown every Saturday morning, and super fun. They shut down the streets, and local vendors come and sell their products! There is everything from freshly cooked food to food straight from the farm; handmade jewelry and trinkets, and enough booths to browse and shop around at for hours! The night life is very fun, and there are several delicious restaurants to eat at. I have lived all over the United States, and Eugene is by far one of the most fun towns I have ever lived in!
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.
