Quiet Joplin neighborhood near Missouri Southern State University
College Skyline borders the north side of Missouri Southern State University, serving as a convenient, quiet community within walking distance of the campus. Located in Joplin's far northeast corner, this neighborhood attracts families, university students and other residents looking for a peaceful space away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With winding, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood does not get much through car traffic. Yet those who pass through may see kids playing in front yards, garage sales and other neighborly exchanges. "Inevitably, whenever I'm there, someone is having a barbecue and the whole neighborhood is over," says Jason Wallace, a lifelong Joplin resident and a Realtor with Fox and Riley Real Estate who has been working in the area for 19 years. "There's a sense of camaraderie." This friendly attitude shows in the neighborhood's lower-than-average CAP Index crime score of 3, compared to the national score of 4.
The Missouri Southern State University campus sits just to the south of College Skyline.

Well-kept Tudors and Cape Cods with unique features
The neighborhood has a collection of unique single-family homes on spacious, grassy lots. These include Tudors, Cape Cods and ranch-style houses from the '70s through the '90s, which all have a different look. Decorative half-timbering, dormer windows, front porches and other touches help properties to stand out, while two-car garages and driveways are unifying factors. Mature trees create shady canopies over front yards.These dwellings draw homebuyers for their quality condition despite their age. "You can buy a house that's 30 years old, but someone's taken care of it. And that's the majority," Wallace says. "Younger families really like that, because you're getting an older house feeling like it's newer because it's been taken care of." Many receive cosmetic updates upon purchase, such as replacing carpets with hardwood floors. There's also some new construction on the neighborhood's north side on East Vandalia Court. Prices range from $190,000 to $390,000.

High schoolers may also get a head start by participating in the University's dual enrollment courses. The campus is just south across Newman Road. The neighborhood's proximity to MSSU "draws a lot of families looking for a house for their kid to live in while their kid is going to school," Wallace says.Public and private schools are also nearby for kindergarten through 12th-grade students. Public schools are between 3 and 5 miles away. Elementary students can start at McKinley, which earns a C from Niche and provides after-school care on campus through the Joplin Family YMCA School Plus program. East Middle School and Joplin High School, both earn a C-plus. Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School is located within the neighborhood and is the region's only non-sectarian, independent college preparatory school. It serves pre-K through 12th grade.
