Hey, I relocated for work and You can expect to pay around $1,596 for rent here. The median home value here is around $557,600, which is pretty steep. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Worth the trade-offs?

Weather-wise, the summers are solid and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. outdoor recreation used to be much growing but now it's solid.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if dating scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Tampa it's tough.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 3 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Hot take but I'm still on the fence after all this time. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.
