Curious what people think. I grew up here but left for a while. It's a a smaller city city with about 71,516 people. Rent is about $1,915/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 4.3%, which is about average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Would love some local perspective. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want safety, then yeah this place is great. But if pet-friendliness matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 1 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
