Creswell: small town on the interstate, ten minutes from eugene

Creswell is a small city on I-5 just south of the metro that has grown steadily because the math works: you get a real downtown, a school district of its own, and a genuinely short commute. It has an airport, a main street, and enough farm ground around it to feel like a town rather than a suburb.
