Has anyone dealt with this? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it's exactly what I was looking for. Compared to Phoenix it's improving.

I've lived in Springfield for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good internet infrastructure
- The job market scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Rising rent and home prices
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Happy to answer more specific questions..
