I don't know where in Canada you're moving from, but your comment about "low housing prices" sent up a warning flag.
It may be that comparatively it's low, but Eugene is
not an inexpensive place to live. I've been told that the cost of living is pretty much the same as in Portland.
It's a college town, and that always skews things.
That said, Springfield, which is right next door may be less expensive.
All I'm saying is check out the stats carefully before coming to conclusions.
