Is public transit usable in Eugene?
Hello, Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Has anyone dealt with this?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Minneapolis about 11 years ago. The main reasons were work and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Affordable housing options
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are stable, gas is decent.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Hope this helps!.

Bought a house here in 2017 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much manageable but now it's pretty good.
