Battlefield offers convenience and proximity to historic site
Battlefield, Missouri, got its name from the site of the Civil War’s Battle of Wilson’s Creek. Today, the nearby site is a hilly and wooded park that draws local outdoor enthusiasts and tourists. In addition to its proximity to the old war grounds, Battlefield offers some buffer from its neighbors’ larger crowds. However, many in this city’s roughly 6,000 people don’t need to travel far for their needs. “You feel a little bit more rural without actually being that far out,” says Sheila Johnson, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “It’s right off the James River Freeway, and if you take Republic Road, you’re at Sam’s Club in eight minutes. It’s a great little area for convenience. I’ve sold a lot of homes to older people there because they want to be close to Springfield, but they don’t want to be in Springfield.”
The town of Battlefield has a replica cannon on display at City Hall.

Battlefield has subdivisions and more homes coming
Battlefield has several subdivisions, where many homes are on lots spanning from about a third of an acre to 1 acre. Homes on the city’s outskirts and surrounding rural areas come with more land. Tall and mature oak and maple trees also line several city roads. Many houses were built between the 1970s and today, and they include ranch-style, split-level homes and brick New Traditional homes. “There’s also different, newer construction going into the community because there are a lot of empty fields that have been sold to developers,” Johnson says. Most homes here are under 4,000 square feet, and they go from about $180,000 to $500,000. A few larger homes with more lot acreage run between $660,000 and $770,000. Some residents here also pay homeowners association fees of over $20 a month.

Residents are close to various sports and outdoor amenities
There are several nearby places to walk, run, bike and play sports. Battlefield City Park’s amenities include basketball and tennis courts and an outdoor gym with equipment like gymnastics rings. McBride Park has a disc golf course, while the public Rivercut Golf Course offers an 18-hole playing ground. Many also make the less than 5-mile trip west to Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, where they may go on a driving tour of the site or get on its walking and horse riding trails. Visitors there might cross paths with wildlife, stop to pick berries and spot cannons. “I did a half-marathon last year, and I would go there, do three loops, and it’d give me 15 miles for running,” Johnson says. “You also see lots of deer. One night, in the fall at sunset, we counted over 120 deer.”

City has Wired Road Brewing Company and some chains
Chains make up most of the dining options here, but Wired Road Brewing Company is one local staple. The brewery has over 15 ales, lagers and sours on tap. Wired Road also has a beer garden and welcomes food trucks. “A lot of people from Springfield and different areas come over there,” Johnson says. “They have live music on Thursday nights, and it’s just got a really nice outdoor atmosphere.” Restaurants right outside the city include Panda Inn & Asian Fusion, which serves a mix of Chinese and Japanese fare in a laidback spot. Grocery shoppers may stop by a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Many may also travel less than 10 miles west to Republic, which has a commercial corridor with chains like ALDI.
