Southwest Springfield is expanding and becoming more popular
Southwest Springfield is all about convenience and opportunities. The south side of the city used to be more sparse, with people instead choosing to live in nearby cities like Battlefield and Nixa and commute into Springfield. As more look to live within city limits, Southwest Springfield has seen an influx of growth and popularity. “The south part is where a lot of the new development is,” says Realtor Jeff Frye with Jim Hutcheson Realtors. “Two of the largest employers in Springfield are hospitals, and they’re both on the southside.” Homes on this side of town are newer than the rest of the city. “There’s growth happening in other directions, but not as much as the south,” Frye says. Major highways like U.S. Route 60 cut through the community, linking residents with employers and the nearby Battlefield Mall.
Many newer constructed homes sit compactly in Southwest Springfield neighborhoods.

Recent developments with New Traditionals and ranch-style homes
Most homes in Southwest Springfield are New Traditionals and ranch-style homes on wide streets with sidewalks along one side of the road. Subdivisions range in age, with some, like Holyoke Park, dating back to the late 1970s, while new developments, such as Anthony Park, were built in the 2020s. Trees line sidewalks and fill front yards. “The climate is pretty mild. We have true four seasons,” Frye says. “And that’s a good thing about the southside because there are lots of pretty trees and lots of color in the fall.” Most homes in Southwest Springfield range from $200,000 to $500,000, which is higher than the city’s median of $130,000.

Students attend B-rated Springfield Public Schools
Southwest Springfield students attend Springfield Public Schools, which receives a B rating from Niche. Younger students can attend a number of elementary schools from the district, but older students attend one of two middle schools. Students on the northern side of the community head to B-minus-rated Carver Middle School, while those on the southern side are zoned for Cherokee Middle School, which receives an A-minus rating. The northern side then continues to C-rated Parkview High School. Students living on the southern side head to Kickapoo High School, which receives a B-plus. It offers Kickapoo University, a college-prep program that includes dual-credit courses, job shadowing and capstone projects. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School is a private Catholic school in the community that serves kindergarten through eighth grade students.

Highways connect Southwest Springfield with the rest of the city
Both U.S. Route 60 and U.S. Route 160 go through the community, linking Southwest Springfield with the rest of the city. Cox Medical Center, one of Springfield’s major hospitals and employers, is 4 miles away, located off U.S. Route 60. Mercy Hospital Springfield is also on the southern side of the city, about 6 miles from Southwest Springfield. “When I started in real estate 30 years ago, none of the highways went through the southwest side, but now it’s very easy to get into the city,” Frye says. Campbell Road heads right into Downtown Springfield, about 7 miles away. Springfield-Branson National Airport is 11 miles from Southwest Springfield.
Annual traditions at the botanical gardens and downtown festivals
While Southwest Springfield doesn’t host any festivals or traditions, its location puts it close to those in other communities. In September, the botanical gardens host the Japanese Fall Festival, which celebrates Springfield’s sister city in Japan, Isesaki. The festival includes performances, music, activities, snacks and tea ceremonies. In the winter, the gardens are illuminated by 200,000 holiday lights and displays for Gardens Aglow. The Birthplace of Route 66 Festival and Car Show is downtown every August, complete with a vintage car show, parade, live music and exhibits on the history of Route 66.
