This.

The things here that are geared toward families with kids are very affordable and within a 20 minute drive.

That's a big deal as it's hard to find anything resembling a semi city lifestyle that's affordable for actual families. Most cities aren't and are often not kid friendly or a place you can raise a family.

Springfield certainly has issues, but I'd take it over somewhere like St Louis or Chicago.
