MCMM: It Had To Be Eugene

Fifty miles inland from the Pacific coast, Eugene, Oregon, is a small city with big beauty—forests and hills surround it, and rivers run through it (the Williamette and the McKenzie). Long known as a liberal, funky place to live (after all, the Merry Prankster himself, Ken Kesey, had his start here), it's also a college town (in addition to the University of Oregon, there are several smaller colleges), and a center for arts and music. So, like, why don't you move there? We've already done the hard part and found you an awesome bargain: this 3 bed/2bath 1966 contemporary with vaulted wood ceilings, huge stone fireplace, deck and hot tub for the happy price of just $245K.
