Stapleton Home for Rent

Stapleton is situated in the heart of Joplin's medical district, near two major hospitals. It's a heavily wooded neighborhood featuring private, half-acre lots with midcentury ranch-style homes, bi-levels and Minimal Traditional homes set back on grassy, shaded lawns. The southeast corner includes New Traditional homes with more square footage and attached two-car garages. The neighborhood's hilly streets and lack of sidewalks can be challenging for pedestrians, and Interstate 44 may cause some noise in the southern part. Stapleton is about 3 miles from Downtown Joplin and Rangeline Road, which are popular shopping and dining areas. Downtown Joplin is undergoing revitalization, featuring locally owned bars, restaurants and boutiques, while Rangeline Road is home to well-known retailers and chain restaurants. Local dining options include Tropicana Bar and Grill, Kinnaree Thai Cuisine and Turtleheads Raw Bar. For groceries, Aldi, Food 4 Less and Dollar General are within 3 miles, with Worden's Meat nearby. Stapleton residents enjoy proximity to Wildcat Park, which features nature trails and access to Shoal Creek, as well as McClelland Park, home to the Joplin Disc Golf Club. Community events are frequent, with the Joplin Empire Market and Third Thursday street fest being popular. The neighborhood is bordered by Main Street and I-44, facilitating easy car travel, and the Sunshine Lamp Trolley green route offers public transportation. Joplin Regional Airport is 9 miles north for domestic flights. Stapleton Elementary School, the highest-ranked elementary school in Joplin, anchors the neighborhood, with students typically progressing to South Middle School and Joplin High School.
