About
Life in Spring Hill
If you're thinking about relocating here, know that you're looking at a fast-growing community of nearly 119,000 people that feels more like an established suburb than a small town. The median household income sits around $68,432, and homes average $288,500—reasonable for Florida's current market—though rent runs about $1,450 a month, so it's not exactly cheap depending on where you're coming from.
