Review of Springfield, Illinois


Springfield is a great place to live!
Star Rating - 11/18/2007
With moderate cost of living and many options for housing, Springfield is one of the best central Illinois places to live. There are many great restaurant choices especially if you look for alternatives to chain-restaurant dining. The arts scene has lots to choose from including a good local symphony, an active arts community, and regular jazz and almost every other type of live music. For the midwest, the weather can be hot and humid in the summer but the winters are fairly mild. We've lived here for 30 years and enjoy the area and the people.
