A newer suburb with a convenient west-side location
With orderly streets and scenic ponds, Cobblestone Estates feels like a modern suburb but sits only 6 miles west of Springfield city center. A homeowners association keeps everything looking its best, and well-maintained sidewalks are often filled with kids on their way to the local elementary school. "Cobblestone Estates is a safe, friendly place where people look out for each other," says Ralph Hanauer, the local Alderman for Ward 10. Hanauer lived in the neighborhood for 18 years, and one of his favorite aspects was the location. "You have so many shops out here, plenty of restaurants and bars, nearby parks — so you don't have to drive across town for anything."
Modern houses with an active homeowners association
Development on Cobblestone Estates began in 1993, and a few lots are still being added today. These newer properties feature New Traditional architecture and amenities like in-ground pools and gas fireplaces. The neighborhood's north side is all single-family homes with quarter-acre lots and prices from $300,000 to $450,000. The south side is made up of ranch-style duplexes with smaller yards, which cost anywhere from $200,000 to $300,000. "There's a relatively low cost of living in Springfield," Hanauer says. "The houses in Cobblestone Estates would be twice or three times as expensive in a larger city." Residents are part of the Cobblestone Estates Homeowners Association, which charges around $10 for monthly dues. The association ensures a standard of neighborhood appearance and cares for all common areas, most notably the four ponds. They also plan an annual block party and a holiday lights competition for the best-decorated house.

Nearby sports bars include Finley's Tap House and Corner Pub & Grill. Just south of the neighborhood, there's an AMC Theater for a movie after dinner. For shopping options, the massive retail corridor along State Route 4 is just a mile east. Strip malls contain big-name brands like Ulta Beauty, Barnes & Noble and Best Buy. Harvest Market is a unique grocery spot because it also has a sit-down café and regular live music nights. About 2 miles down Route 4, there's a shopping center with Walmart, Target and Aldi. "Ward 10 is where most new development is happening, and there's always a new shop or restaurant coming in," Hanauer says. White Oaks Mall is located in this area, too, though some of its stores have been closing down in recent years.

Fishing ponds, biking trails and a local YMCA
In warm Illinois summers, the ponds within the neighborhood are popular spots to teach kids how to fish. Use of the ponds is restricted to residents only. Rotary Park is only a couple blocks away and is often used for children's baseball, with three diamonds and public restrooms. The park also has tennis courts and a small playground. The Gus and Flora Kerasotes YMCA is also a few blocks from most homes, offering swim lessons, sports teams and summer camps. But for the largest outdoor recreation hub in the immediate area, Centennial Park, 2 miles away, is the go-to. Centennial Park has sports courts, a skate park and a dog park. It also connects to the Sangamon Valley Trail, a paved 11.5-mile path for biking and long walks.
