I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in South for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
- The dating scene scene is solid

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Springfield. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

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

No regrets on my end..
