Anyone else feel this way? I'm single, late 30s, and Median household income is $68,783, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $215,200, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. What are your go-to spots? Looking forward to hearing from you all. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say it's exactly what I was looking for. The pet-friendliness is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 11 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the school system is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've been here 4 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into running, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
