Industry and education in Joplin’s Wilson-Hutton neighborhood
Modest early 20th-century homes fill the east end of Wilson-Hutton, while industrial businesses on the west side manufacture items from tiles to batteries. In between, North Middle School teaches hundreds of students. The small neighborhood in northern Joplin isn’t known for shops or restaurants, but only a 10-minute walk separates it from Main Street and West 7th Street, two of Joplin’s commercial corridors.

Compact, mature homes along city blocks
More than half of the homes were built before 1926, with small bungalows and one-story American Foursquare houses packed together along the streets. Homes usually lack driveways, so people park their cars along the curb. While single-family homes are plentiful, many have been converted into rentals. Meanwhile, some houses in the neighborhood need significant renovations before they’re livable. Houses in the neighborhood rarely change hands. In the past year, only two homes have sold, with a fixer-upper selling for $35,000 and a turnkey two-bedroom house fetching $175,000.

Nearby recreation includes playgrounds, pickleball and bowling
Residents have to head about a mile northeast of the neighborhood to access nearby parks. Roanoke Park runs along a gulley between homes, with a playground on one end and a tennis court on the other. A few blocks east, Landreth Park sits on the site of an 1800s mining camp. Today, visitors will see pickleball courts rather than pickaxes and people playing volleyball in sand pits rather than digging in lead pits. Events from disc golf tournaments to the Silver Sage Renaissance Festival gather at the park. Directly south of Wilson-Hutton, locals have been knocking down pins at 4th Street Bowl since it opened in 1946. The bowling alley hosts various leagues, with at least one meeting every day of the week.
Landreth Park draws pickleball enthusiasts from Wilson-Hutton.
