Curious what people think. I work in manufacturing and The median home value here is around $371,700, which seems about average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Any advice would be great. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

I've lived in Springfield for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights
- The traffic scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Urban sprawl is real
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
