Growing City With A Small Town Feel

- 5/2/2022
We're somewhat new to this area... having recently moved from AZ. We find the residents are more polite and generally much nicer here. Residents actually have a reasonable work ethic. There are over eight hundred restaurants of every type within 15 minutes of our home. Our cost of living is about 15% lower: for instance gas is a buck less. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, with lush hardwood forests, and rolling hills easily accessible via well maintained country roads. Lots to see and do with dozens of mammoth lakes, rivers and streams. Many parks, and nearby Branson is an entertainment mecca. We like the four seasons here with mild winters. There are an abundance of small and mid-sized local businesses that are growing and in hiring mode. A half million souls live in this market area and yet it still maintains a safe, small-town feel. So, all-in-all, it's no wonder the Queen City is healthy and growing. We're very happy with our decision to make Springfield our permanent home.
