Rent is about $1,209/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 54,011 people. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. What would you do? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2018 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 1 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 15 years ago. The main reasons were weather and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Rising rent and home prices
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are reasonable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
