Hey everyone, I'm originally from Atlanta and Median household income is $32,431, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. The suburbs are where most families end up. Any advice would be great. Cheers.

I've lived in Springfield for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events and festivals
- The outdoor recreation scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
