OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Springfield. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in real estate. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 2 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..

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