Cottage Grove sits at the south end of the Willamette Valley where the Coast Fork and the Row River come out of the hills. It’s an old timber town with a historic Main Street, a lot of older homes in town, and rural property out toward Dorena Lake, London Road and the hills on either side.
Older homes and rural property
In-town homes are often older, with wall heaters, wood heat or aging furnaces, and many rural properties have shops, barns and manufactured homes with their own needs. Ductless mini splits, heat pumps and shop heaters fit a lot of the work at this end of the county.
Colder hollows, hotter summers
Away from the valley floor, winter nights in the hollows can run colder than in Eugene, and ice storms can bring down lines for days. Summers here are hot and dry, with wildfire smoke drifting in from the Cascades and the Umpqua country in bad years.
Utilities and permits
Depending on your address, electricity may come from the city, a public utility district or an electric co-op, so check your bill before looking up incentives. Permits are handled by the City of Cottage Grove for addresses in town and by Lane County outside it.
