As an original resident of Maryland with a relocating goal of completing school here in Eugene, I have found it to be a interesting experience here. Very open and liberal, however safety and crime rate is alarmingly high and concentrated in the Eugene area where I reside. I enjoy the healthy lifestyle that we push for here with outdoor recreation being ample and vegan/vegetarian restaurants more endorsed. Living here in Oregon has shown me a new way of living and seeing life through a Northwestern perspective. Overall, I say average rating due to concerns about high cost of living to pay ratio, overly concentrated demographic of homelessness, and low opportunity for housing. I work as a leasing professional in the apartment rental industry and would say this is my opinion based on my rental marketing statistics. Thank you for reading my review!
Growing up in Texas I never imagined a city could be so cool and green. I’m not just talking about the people here either! From Spencer’s Butte to Mt. Pisquah there’s plenty of wonderful outdoor activities and you can’t beat the views! Located approximately an hour and a half from both the Oregon coast to the west, and the mountains to the east there’s even more to entertain if you go a little out of the city.
I think my only possible complaints would be the city infrastructure on Duck game days, the nation wide impact of the 2020 pandemic on our increasing homeless population, and the utter lack of decent Mexican food.
Overall I’d give Eugene Oregon 8/10 and would recommend relocating to anyone.

Eugene, Oregon, is an amazing place. It is incredibly diverse, with lots of caring people and different cultures all around. It has amazing places to eat and lots of places to see. If you enjoy the outdoors, kayaking, swimming, hiking, biking, Eugene is PERFECT for you! Almost all the roads have bike paths, there are many rivers for kayaking and lots of beautiful places to hike and mountain bike. But there are parts of Eugene that are not at all family friendly. The homeless population is very high, so it can be dangerous to be out and about by yourself. There is a bad influence in many places, like the public schools. There are tons of pot stores and lots of sketchy people. So, if you're thinking about moving to Eugene, weigh your pros and cons before deciding.
