Springfield is in the heart of the Ozark mountains, on a plateau that tends to split serious weather systems to flow north of south of the metro area. Mild winters, but 4 seasons. Lots of opportunities for the outdoor person. Many rafting and canoeing rivers, many very pristine. Very close to the first National River (The Buffalo) Lots of hiking trails within easy reach. There is a good equestrian community that ranges from Western Pleasure to all out Rodeo (all skill levels)
There is talk of the crime rate. It is primarily property crime at a level that is not unusual. Violent crime tends to be of two sorts. Domestic violence claims lives on occasion, but many services for escaping those circumstances. Other violent crimes are criminal on criminal i.e.; drug deal disputes, etc.
No serious gang issues, mostly wannabes. Drugs are a problem in the lower income areas with meth the principle problem.
On a happier note there is am amazing array of restaurants, both chain and local. I have never lived anywhere with more folks that eat out and new eateries opening. Good coffee shops. Broadway road-shows frequently at the Hammons Hall, and top tier musical artists in reasonable number. About a 45 minute drive to Branson, a national vacation destination for entertainment, clean lakes and amusement parks.
Last comment- When you think of Springfield you need to also consider the cities surrounding the city. With less than a 20 minute drive you have a range of smaller towns with populations from 5,000 to 20,000. surrounding this city of about 175,000. Lots of options.
