There has been very little new construction, so existing stock is old, dilapidated, and overpriced. Eugene is a college town, so some apartment ads may be for college dorm-type "quads".

Shared housing is probably your best bet to start - check Craigslist. It takes awhile to work your way up to decent housing in Oregon. It's a series of stepping stones.

Good luck!
