Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 2 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
