Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are growing. You get used to it after the first year.

Came here for work and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The community vibe is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Bought a house here in 2017 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 3 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 14 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is better than expected.
