Been meaning to ask this. I'm a 33-year-old pharmacist and The median home value here is around $343,500, which seems about average. Household incomes average around $97,414 in New Berlin. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I'm a electrician and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

I've lived in Springfield for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The weather scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Sunset. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in real estate. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Thai.
No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Uptown. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in real estate. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Korean.
