The "timelessness" of Lorien and Rivendell was attained largely by the use of the two rings of the Three used by their Elvish guardians. Eregion had no such powers at work.

The Shire had a wholly different feel due to, I believe, the nearness of Bombadil, and its proximity to the Sea.

Eregion I see as more akin to First Age Nargothrond: impressive in graceful strength, but more "industrial", owing to the Noldorin focus on crafting.
Legolas noted that he could "hear" the stone of Eregion recalling the Noldor, but that to himself they were "strange".
