Eugene is a great place to spend several years, as it often appears on lists of the most livable communities in the country. Eugene is Oregon's second largest metropolitan area with an array of housing options and easy commuting. It enjoys the cultural amenities of a larger city, hosting concerts that span the musical spectrum, the world famous Bach Festival, and many other festivals and celebrations. The August 2010 issue of Entrepreneur Magazine also recognized Eugene as "the nation's top Green Scene – Where Capitalism meets Eco-Consciousness." Recreational possibilities abound, ranging from cycling Eugene's extensive network of bicycle paths to hiking and biking picturesque trails to playing local golf courses. Eugene lies within 90 minutes of the Cascade Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and Portland OR.
