I've lived in Springfield for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good internet infrastructure
- The outdoor recreation scene is average
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. No regrets on my end..
