I'm a writer and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 1 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2023 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are tough, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
