Small town known for its festivals
Junction City offers buyers the chance to escape the busyness of city life. Known for its annual Scandinavian Festival, this tight-knit community has small-town vibes with locally owned shops and restaurants along its Main Street. There is a mix of established homes, farms and new construction here, offering fresh opportunities for those moving here. The town sits 15 miles north of Eugene, so it's perfect for those seeking a slower pace but wanting to stay close to the amenities and major employers of larger cities. “There’s a lot of charming midcentury homes, but the new construction makes it so there’s something for everyone here,” says Realtor Bryn Cook, who has been with Eugene’s CTD Realty for nearly a decade.
