Quick commute to jobs and school in south Joplin
Freeman Grove is a south Joplin neighborhood with a major hospital within its borders. Freeman Hospital West spreads across the neighborhood's west side, and Kansas City University's Joplin medical school campus and Mercy Hospital are just next door, making this neighborhood a popular choice for students and professionals. Whether in healthcare or not, residents enjoy nearby parks, transportation routes and unique architecture in this long established neighborhood. "Right now, six of our 11 tenants are medical professionals, whether that be medical students or physicians," says Jeremy Bland, Property Manager at Jackson Hills, a rental housing community in the neighborhood. "Being on call, they're close to the ER, so they can have quick response times."

Spanish Mission-style homes stand out
This is a hilly neighborhood where early 20th-century homes and big trees add to an older, quiet vibe. Tudor and bungalow-style houses date back to the 1920s and '30s. Spanish Mission homes stand out from typical Joplin architecture, with textured stucco exteriors, arched doorways and red tile roofs. Decorative landscaping adds to the curb appeal and character. Fenced-in front yards are carved by narrow, winding walking paths and speckled by flowers and trees. Homes here can range from $120,000 to $300,000. One standout property here is the historic Bonnie and Clyde garage apartment, where the infamous duo holed up and eventually stood off against law enforcement in 1933. Newer homes also dot the neighborhood. The Jackson Hills development features 11 rental homes with one, two or three bedrooms. "Some of our med students aren't from our area, so being in a closed, fenced-in community setting, they feel safe," Bland says. The fire station on the neighborhood's east side creates frequent noise.
