Not sure if this has been asked before, but Born and raised here. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $85,074 in Plainfield. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Is this normal for Plainfield? Thanks in advance!

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are underrated, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 14 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into running, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. traffic used to be much affordable but now it's excellent.
