Is Spring Hill getting better or worse?

First post here. Been living here since 2005. Average temperature is around 72°F, so it's warm year-round. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. It's a a mid-size city city with about 119K people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to Dallas it's better than expected.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 3 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. 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 average.

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

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