Longtime lurker here, Rent is about $1,238/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $296,800 on average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Am I wrong here? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.
I've been here 15 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've been here 12 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

We moved here with our family and it exceeded my expectations. Schools in Sunset area are tough. Kids love it here.
