Often referred to as the "Emerald City", Eugene is nestled in the Willamette Valley between the breathtakingly beautiful Cascade Mountains and the Oregon Coast Range.  The north flowing Willamette River cuts diagonally through the center of the city, and is heavily bordered by much loved parks and bike paths.  An hour's drive to either the spectacular Oregon coast or to top notch snow skiing, and home to the University of Oregon, Eugene is a culturally diverse, energetic city, complete with a moderate year  climate..the perfect place to visit or live!
