I work in engineering and Household incomes average around $139,567 in Brentwood. The median home value here is around $791,600, which is pretty steep. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Would love some local perspective. Any help is appreciated. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

The food scene here is better than expected. Tons of great craft beer places. it's exactly what I was looking for.

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Riverside area are solid. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Springfield for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The safety scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited entertainment options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
