Random thought, It's a a smaller city city with about 73,301 people. The unemployment rate is 5.3%, which is about average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What neighborhoods would you suggest?

I've lived in Springfield for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong job market in several industries
- The dating scene scene is tough
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
