The Spitzer Space Telescope's potent combination of sensitive mid-infrared imaging capability and few-arcsecond resolution enabled both large area and highly sensitive surveys of nearby star formation regions in the Milky Way. The resultant legacy is a vast increase in the number of known young stellar objects, and perhaps of greater impact, near-complete censuses of pre-main sequence stars with disks and envelope-bearing protostars in nearby star forming regions down to the Hydrogen-burning mass limit. I will present a brief overview of this work and its effect on our current view of star formation in the solar neighborhood.
