Review of Eugene, Oregon


A little help from future friends?
Star Rating - 6/15/2010
Hey all. My niece has been decided on UO for her university studies... so, to Eugene we go.

I've seen the crime data and understand (living in Tempe, AZ currently) how crime is "pocketed" when living near a university (especially one like ASU where people move in from other states... and not unlike us).

However, I would like to see us move to a lower crime neighborhood as it'll be just us and her pup. I'm concerned about the stories of drug addicts attempting to break into residences (oh, I wish I'd copied that site down) while the owners are home and the police unwilling to respond.

It's possible that may be a one off story but I'm simply not sure where to start looking.

Any suggestions?
