Reply to comment by Lionfountain in Looking to move to Springfield - Some comparisons by strangedange

That's really what's driving me, I want a big yard for my dog to run around and play in and a safe neighborhood to take walks in!

Not sure what your budget is or how you define "big" yard and "safe" neighborhood, but the two could, again depending on your definition, be hard to find here. If you're OK living outside of "town" in more of a suburban development rather than a "neighborhood", you'll be fine.

But, for real... if the entire country is your oyster... maybe keep looking. If you like the ecology of here, there's always northwest Arkansas.

I second the SW Springfield part. I'm technically outside the city by a block but I love it here. Nothing like what they guy posted about in the lengthy reply, he must have lived downtown and I do not recommend that. Anything south of Sunshine Street is good.

Ozark & Nixa are great suburbs of Springfield. Republic is good too but is a bit further. Cheap homes, good lot sizes, and super sweet folks live in those areas. ;)
