Pasfield Park offers calm surroundings close to shops and dining
Pasfield Park Place is a quiet neighborhood close to golf courses and parks, including the northwestern corner of Springfield's Washington Park. "It was one of the first major parks in Springfield,” says Phil Chiles, a broker and Realtor with Keller Williams Capital, who was born and raised in Springfield. “It has a rose garden and a pond that allows some fishing. It’s a very popular park and is used for a variety of things." Pasfield Park Place is also near many employers, local shopping and restaurants, but still maintains a suburban feel compared to downtown Springfield.

Mix of bungalows and ranch-style houses with varied price points
Large oak trees shade the residential streets that are lined with sidewalks. Bungalows, bi-level and ranch-style homes are all common here. "Most of the homes are post World War II,” says Jim Fulgenzi, team leader of the Jim Fulgenzi Sales Force with Re/Max Professionals and Springfield native. “The area built up because of GIs coming home and the economic boom during the 1950s and ‘60s.” Homes under 2,000 square feet tend to range from about $75,000 to $200,000, while larger houses tend to sell for around $200,000 to $380,000. Homes stay on the market for an average of 12 days, significantly lower than the national average of 53 days. Nearly half of the neighborhood consists of renters.
