Worth the trade-offs? The suburbs are where most families end up.

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Midtown area are surprisingly good. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.
I've been here 9 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Cedar Grove side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Austin about 11 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are pricey, gas is tough.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are hit or miss, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
