Services
At SAGE Living by Design, we know the impact that a good location has on being a more sustainable living environment. The essential element of proximity to jobs, goods and services, and transit is critical. The closer people are to jobs, supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and other living services, the less complicated and more comfortable their lives become.
Our mission is to improve the quality of people's lives through the application of sustainable design to the experience of contemporary living. We believe that intelligent well-designed living must address every aspect of the physical environment a person lives in, as well as provide access to positive lifestyle choices, services and a greater sense of community.
We strive to provide our residents with a positive, healthy living experience. Whether offering an apartment that has been remodeled with flooring using recycled materials, painted with no-VOC paints or outfitted with energy efficient appliances, we are dedicated to healthy living. We use 100% Greenpower through EWEB for all common areas, exterior lighting and common laundry rooms.

Had lots of issues with a place I was living with parking. 6 months after being there and parking in my assigned spot, they gave my spot to another tenant and assigned me a parking spot with a broken down car in it. The tow company they partner with is trash. Property management continued to email me snarky responses even after I asked them not to contact me anymore. The guy that works there has the worst attitude ever and you can literally hear him roll his eyes any time he is asked a question or a request is put in. He talks over you, doesn't let you speak and has an air of superiority. Ended

Best landlord I’ve ever had. When they raise your rent, it’s like $25. They do month-to-month after your first year, fix things when they break, don’t charge pet rent, and overall just not slumlords like the rest of the landlords in Eugene. I’ve had Bell, DucksVillage, Umbrella, and Emerald; none even begin to compare. Sage will treat you like you’re a decent person.

I was initially wary about renting from an agency. Sage living by design was fantastic though. They were flexible when I had problems during my move out, prompt when things needed fixing and very fair about security deposits. One small thing I noticed that meant a lot to me is the few times I interacted with people employed by sage they seemed happy and kind. Also, the apartments at fifth and Jefferson had one of the most usable kitchens I have ever rented. If I hadn't needed to move due to a bad roomate I would still be there.

I've rented from various property management companies over the past decade, and Sage Living By Design is, far and away, the best renting experience I've had.
Their properties are well-maintained, their office is responsive to questions and requests, and they genuinely seem interested in making sure their tenants are happy. This leads to longer-term tenants, meaning you have more consistent neighbors, which is also nice.
In my opinion, property management company is just as important as location, amenities, etc. when renting, so I would highly recommend keeping an eye on Sage above all other

I absolutely love Sage LBD, and I was sorry to leave the property behind. Maintenance was always prompt and helpful, Sage made great improvements to the property I lived in (security gate, card-reading laundry machines), and they were always responsive to tenant concerns and needs. I'm writing this review now having gotten my security deposit back. I had two cats while living in my apartment, and Sage was INCREDIBLY fair and forthright with the costs of cleaning and repairs... and I still got back nearly all of the deposit. They are an ethical company, an honest company, with great staff. You can

I've lived at my Lawrence Street apartment for 4 years. It is the best apartment I've ever had in Eugene, and I've lived here for 10 years.
Ali and Niall are the sweetest and will take care of any of your apartment issues almost immediately. Their responsiveness and care really shows. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat— I've actually referred them to close friends and they've had great experiences as well.
All of the units are updated regularly with modern fixtures and amenities. I actually chose to wait a few weeks to move in initially because they gave me the option to have the

Best rental company available in Eugene, Oregon. When we decided to move out we followed their check list of cleaning, and received our whole deposit back. This is unheard of in Lane county, most rental companies will find any reason to keep your deposit. Our rental was also a month to month, making it very easy to move out when we decided it was time to go. Sage Living By Design is an honest rental company who care about their tenants. I highly suggest renting from this company.

I actually lived in an apartment complex that was sold to Sage. When my family and I finally moved of the apartment. They were completely fair with us and gave us back ALL but $75 dollars of our deposit. At first they kept $150 of it, but when I explained to them that the old property manager was supposed to fix the garage door and never did, they agreed to give me half back. I was really impressed at how nice and thorough they were. I recently saw my old apartment for rent at over a thousand a month. I was astonished at how much remodeling they have done with the place. When we lived there we
