What’s it like to live in Eugene, OR?

Eugene, Oregon, is situated between the ocean 60 miles to the west and the Cascade Mountains 100 miles to the east. The city offers the best of both worlds like very few places in the U.S. Self-dubbed “A Great City for the Arts and Outdoors,” Eugene has a thriving local arts and culture scene in concert with sprawling recreational options. Ballet Fantastique, the Eugene Ballet, the Eugene Opera and the Eugene Symphony head up the area’s performing arts options. Visual art spills out from coffee shops and galleries with murals and street art on municipal buildings, in parks and into neighborhoods.
