What BestPlaces Users Say about Spring Hill
Spring Hill, Florida is a mid-sized town located on the Gulf Coast, about an hour and a half north of Tampa. It has a population of approximately 100,000 residents and is known for its affordable cost of living and year-round warm weather. However, like any city, there are pros and cons to living in Spring Hill. Let's take a look at what some users have to say about their experiences living in this town.
According to user reviews on BestPlaces.net, many residents of Spring Hill praise the town for its overall pleasant atmosphere and sense of community. Some reviewers mention the abundance of outdoor activities and close proximity to beaches as major bonuses. One user, Jason, says, "Spring Hill has a small-town feel with all the amenities you could ask for. There's always something to do, whether it's fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the beautiful weather." Another user, Sarah, adds, "I love the nature and wildlife here. It's a great place to raise a family and there are plenty of parks and recreational areas for kids to play."
However, not all reviews are positive. Some users mention issues with traffic and a lack of job opportunities. A user named Matthew states, "Traffic can be a nightmare, and there aren't many job options here. You may have to commute to another city for work." Another reviewer, Linda, shares a similar sentiment, saying, "I moved here for the affordable housing, but it's hard to find a good job. I've had to commute to Tampa for work, which can be exhausting."
There are also mixed opinions on the quality of schools in Spring Hill. While some users praise the public schools for their strong academics and dedicated teachers, others express concerns about overcrowding and safety. A user named Maria writes, "My kids have had great experiences in the public schools here. They've received a quality education and have been able to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. However, I do worry about the large class sizes and some instances of bullying." On the other hand, a user named John shares, "I have had to enroll my children in private schools because I didn't feel comfortable with the public schools in Spring Hill. I wish the education system here was better."
Overall, the majority of user reviews paint a positive picture of living in Spring Hill, Florida. The town's warm climate, welcoming community, and affordable cost of living seem to be its biggest draws. However, some issues with traffic, job opportunities, and schools are worth considering for those interested in moving to this area. As with any city, it's important to do thorough research and visit the town yourself to determine if it's the right fit for you.

Too many hicks - 4/2/2018
People here are very rude. Cheap place to live, quiet and not over populated. Traffic is good, lots of places to eat. Not much to do compared to pinellas. Houses are big size for affordable price. Place somewhat clicking. Wouldn't recommend for social

Some parts of Spring Hill are rather nice. Some are indeed poor, and run down. Not difficult to find a nice area. I live in Spring Hill. Close enough to go to Tampa, or my favorite beach, Honey Moon Island. I would rather live in Land O Lakes, (which I have)or if one could afford Palm Harbour.I work in Lecanto, Fl. Co-workers love the area, as well as Inverness. Which are more of a country area, very pretty. Brooksville, while pretty, is not a great place to live. Nothing to do, and becoming run down. One block can be nice, and the next block horrible.I really love Clermont, Fl. So beautiful, rolling hills, water. Lots of roof tops, but still love it there. Lived there couple of

Best place to live !! - 6/30/2012
The best place to raise children. The town is quiet. The people are great. Shopping is close and convenient. I moved from Cleveland Ohio to Tampa and I could not get out of Tampa fast enough. My husband got a job at Salishan and it was the best move I made!! If I had to relocate I would love to bring this town with me.

What it's like for a family to live in Spring Hill - 12/31/2011
My family and I have resided in Spring Hill, Florida for over ten years. When we first moved here, the Suncoast Parkway just opened up and many young families were moving in. These families were a lot like us at the time - young, just getting started, and in search of large but inexpensive homes. The area grew rapidly. Shops and restaurants sprang up every where. When the recession hit, Spring Hill, like the rest of the country, was hit pretty hard. People lost their jobs. Homes went into foreclosure. Businesses began closing. Although Spring Hill isn't what it was several years ago, people are still moving here and the area is still functioning.
I am writing this from the perspective of a well-educated wife and mother. I am also a teacher and have a good grasp of the school system here. If you are thinking of moving to Spring Hill and have children still living at home, I hope you will find my post useful.
Spring Hill is a lower middle class community. Most

Don't come here looking for work! - 11/28/2009
I moved from Ohio in 2005 to build a new life here in Florida....bad move!
Don't come here looking for work...unless you intend to sleep on the beach.
I live in the worst county...14 percent unemployment. If you are a nurse, doctor or lawyer you will survive...otherwise stay where you

Living in spring Hill, Fl. - 3/7/2009
Spring Hill is a growing community which is best describe as a retirement community. Although there are a few businesses here the main source of income comes from retail and construction. These businesses are experiencing a lost of business at this time but when the economy was good, they provide a good resource for work.
The cost of living in this area is relatively high and I suspect that the areas living costs will continue to increase over the next few years as the state continues to deal with a lost of revenue due to the economic conditions. Right now it is costing me as much if not more than it did to live in Middletown, New York only 7 years ago.
Little happens in this bedroom community but crime seems to be increasing the more the recession strenghtens.
Other than that, there is not much to say about the laid back

Hey! It's not THAT bad! - 8/24/2008
This is a small town. We don't pay city, county or state income taxes. Many retirees in the area keep the money out of services that would normally be available to a community with more families.
But housing costs are low, you can actually afford to live in the area and own a nice home. My 5/3/2 with a large pool on a beautiful lot just appraised for $225,000. Where else in Florida are you going to get that?
The schools are improving as the population grows. More stores are moving up here too. We do lack any kind of nightlife, so if you are a young adult you wold be bored out of your minds around here.
We have fishing, canoeing, large state parks, 9 months of swimming weather, and Weeki Wachee Springs.
We have the Brooksville Raid (the south's largest civil war reenactment)and Swampfest. And don't forget...Disney, Sea World, Bucsh Gardens and more are just 60-90 minutes away.
Why don't people understand that if you pay less you get less? Don't move to
