Housing in Aventura compared to Nashville
Longtime lurker here, Rent is about $2,423/month for a decent place. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it was the best decision I ever made.

I'm a contractor and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

Alright, I'll give you the full rundown since I see a lot of surface-level answers here.
I've been in Springfield for 6 years. Moved from Miami for work. Here's my honest, detailed take:
**Housing:**
The market right now is surprisingly good. We bought in 2018 at k and it's now worth up a bit than that. If you're renting, expect /mo for a decent 4-bed in a safe area. Older homes are where the value is.
**Employment:**
finance is strong here. retail is hit or miss. If you're remote, you'll love the cost of living. Average salaries are reasonable for the area.
**Quality of Life:**
it's not perfect but it works for me. The outdoor scene is surprisingly good - we have desert landscapes within easy driving distance. Dining has gotten so much better in the past few years.
**Schools (if relevant):**
Varies hugely by district. Springfield schools are decent. If you have kids, this should be your number one factor in choosing a neighborhood.
**The Bad:**
I'd be lying if I said everything is great. Property taxes are high. Bugs and humidity in summer. And housing market can be frustrating.
**Bottom line:**
For families, I'd say this is a 9/10. Definitely worth checking out.. Feel free to ask specific questions - happy to help.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Houston it's challenging.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Midtown. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in legal. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
