Battlefield, MO Homes for Rent

Battlefield, Missouri, sits just south of U.S. Highway 60 and gives residents a more rural feel while still staying close to Springfield’s services and jobs. With around 6,000 residents, it features several subdivisions where many homes sit on lots from about a third of an acre to 1 acre, while properties on the outskirts and in nearby rural areas tend to have more land. Streets lined with mature oak and maple trees frame homes built from the 1970s through today, including ranch-style and split-level layouts and brick New Traditional designs, with newer construction going up as empty fields are developed. Battlefield City Park features basketball and tennis courts and an outdoor gym, while McBride Park has a disc golf course and the public Rivercut Golf Course provides 18 holes of play. Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, less than 5 miles away, draws walkers, runners, cyclists and history enthusiasts to its trails and driving tour. Dining leans toward chains, but Wired Road Brewing Company stands out with its tap list, beer garden, food trucks, live music and annual Solstice Fest. Grocery runs often include the local Walmart Neighborhood Market or a short trip to Republic’s commercial corridor less than 10 miles west. Students may attend highly rated schools in the Republic School District, including McBride Elementary, Lyon Elementary, Cherokee Middle, Republic Middle and Republic High School, or Springfield’s Kickapoo High School, depending on their address.
