Walkable UO University Downtown Urban Artistic High-Tech Bike-Friendly

Fun, vibrant, trendy -- Downtown Eugene is all of that, plus it's a college town. The University of Oregon sits along the Willamette River in Downtown, adding a youthful vibe to the many shops, restaurants, and pubs that line the downtown streets. Downtown Eugene is very walkable, with wide sidewalks along tree-lined streets. It is the location of the Lane County Farmers Market, the Saturday Market, the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, and the historic WOW Hall Community Center of the Performing Arts.

In addition to the University of Oregon, Downtown Eugene is home to a large number of tech companies -- so much so that the neighborhood holds an annual "Tech Tour" to highlight the companies. Downtown Eugene is a terrific place to live. It is ranked one of the Top 10 Green Cities in the US, its schools are ranked among the highest in the nation, the Willamette River Trail is considered one of the best urban bike paths in the country, and it has one of the nation's best downtowns for a mid-sized city.
