I've seen some landscaping places around town, so would probably call around.

Moved from Illinois recently. Family of five. Issues with property crime and drugs, but it's mostly an issue if you hang out and associate with these types. (You have to seek it out kind of crime.)

Cost of living is great and having a low price of gas helps maintain that. Surrounding areas of Springfield are good and will continue to boom.

Springfield itself has a small city feel with enough big city amenities. It's very large though. You will be surprised by how Lone Pine area of Springfield looks (incredible views), vs the downtown which reminds me a bit of downtown Milwaukee, but smaller. All the same city. (The cops patrol the hell out of the downtown and I've felt very safe bringing our young kids with me.)

There's alot of potential here. Don't let the naysayers who whine about politics and muh horrid Trumpers get you down. They haven't moved to any of their favored blue states for reasons beyond finances.

Enjoy Springfield.

You chose a nice neighborhood. Easy to access lots you'll need in sgf. Field is a good school if you stick around.
