We love Springfield

Our family has lived here for 12 years after living in major metro areas like Chicago, Philadelphia and Orange County, CA for work. As a mid-sized town (pop 112,000 in 2018) Springfield may not have every big-city amenity, but it is lovely, affordable and a wonderful place to raise a family. Commute times rarely exceed 20 minutes, and the people count the be nicer. It has a “farmy” feel at times because it is surrounded by smaller towns in every direction. The biggest employers are a booming healthcare industry, the State of IL and several large school districts.
