If I wanted a small town with the facilities of a good university, Corvallis would be my first choice in Oregon. Eugene has I think not aged as well over the past 30 years and the central area has experienced rising property crime and homelessness. If you don't care about a university, the eastern part of the state has sunnier weather.
- pugworthy 4y agoCorvallis has been able to keep its population and sprawl very much under control. When I first came here in the early 80's the population was in the low 40k range. It's now just hitting 60k. Green space helps control growth, but admittedly it's pushed a lot to the other nearby communities.

Not a reason to live there necessarily, but just in case anybody's in the area and hadn't heard of it. Pendleton also has cheap housing, fiber internet, and a decent craft brewery http://prodigalsonbrewery.com/ http://prodigalsonbrewery.com/ .
