Pros and Cons of Eugene, OR

Published June 22, 2013

Eugene, Oregon, is known as the hometown of the University of Oregon. It’s also the home of Nike, and Phil Knight adorns the university (and, in that respect, the city) with new buildings and gyms.

Eugene is also located in densely forested land, which is great for hiking, near the coast, which is great for boating, and not far from Portland, which is great for drinking. Oh, and it has an iconic Shakespeare festival.

However, Eugene is also known for winters that do not stop raining, and aside from the college, it’s really a pretty small town without the downtown and economic hallmarks of a big city, like Portland and Seattle.

Learn more about the pros and cons of Eugene, and talk to some Eugene moving companies today.
