Pasfield Park West combines privacy with easy city access
Pasfield Park West has a suburban feel with sidewalk-lined streets shaded by large trees, but it’s just about 5 miles away from downtown. "The nice thing about the neighborhood is it remains very affordable in our marketplace,” says Jim Fulgenzi, a Springfield native and team leader of the Jim Fulgenzi Sales Force with Re/Max Professionals. “It’s good for first-time buyers.” The community offers convenient shopping and dining alongside a laid-back, woodsy setting. Rickard Road runs through the majority of the neighborhood, giving residents a sense of privacy reinforced by the natural setting.

They offer dual-enrollment courses through a partnership with Lincoln Land Community College. Those seeking a private school can attend Our Savior’s Lutheran School, which has an A-plus and serves prekindergarten through eighth grade. “We tailor our education to the students,” says Our Savior’s Principal Carmen Yagow. “But we also strive to maintain a good relationship with the parents and the community at large.”
