East Springfield combines industrial businesses and quaint residences
Springfield’s manufacturing industry was born in its waterside communities, but the landlocked East Springfield neighborhood is where the industry still flourishes. In the early 1900s, factories were established in East Springfield, 3 miles from the mills lining the Connecticut River. During World War II, Westinghouse, Smith & Wesson and Indian Motorcycle ramped up their East Springfield operations to produce equipment for the U.S. military. The growing number of workers led to the construction of homes when the war ended. Those houses remain, and Smith & Wesson still employs 1,000 people in East Springfield. New manufacturers, such as a rail car factory and the distribution center and headquarters of the Big Y supermarket chain, have arrived in the meantime. Factories and warehouses make up the majority of East Springfield, but Interstate 291 and U.S. Route 20 separate the residential section from the industrial area.
Modest post-World War II homes
Homes generally cluster on the east and west ends of East Springfield, removed from the industrial businesses and interstate in the center of the neighborhood. Small Cape Cods and minimal traditional houses built in the 1940s and 1950s sit on compact, rectangular lots, with trees growing alongside the street curb. On some streets, including Osborne Terrace and Bowles Park, oaks and cedars grow from grass medians in the middle of the roads, bolstering the neighborhood’s tree canopy. One- and two-bedroom homes have recently sold from $165,000 to $305,000, but larger houses can cost up to $385,000.

Central High emphasizes arts education
Children in kindergarten through fifth grade can go to Mary O. Pottenger School, which receives a C-plus from Niche. C-minus-rated Van Sickle Academy teaches sixth, seventh and eighth graders. Springfield Public Schools allows students and their families to apply to their preferred high school rather than assigning students to schools. In a child’s prekindergarten, fifth-grade or eighth-grade year, parents submit a ballot listing their first and second choices. One option is Central High School, which gets a B-minus. The school focuses on arts and advanced studies, with a TV production studio and 21 Advanced Placement classes available to students. Many neighboring school districts, including the A-rated Longmeadow Public Schools, accept students who don’t live within their boundaries.

Page Boulevard businesses sell used books and serve Puerto Rican food
Most neighborhood businesses are scattered along Page Boulevard, where Red Brick Books has operated for more than 40 years. The shop’s used books are often stacked on shelves horizontally instead of vertically, making it easier to read the titles along the spines. Half a mile down the road, El Morro Bakery and Restaurant serves Puerto Rican dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
On the west end is Big Y, a Springfield-based supermarket chain. “The thing about Big Y is they buy local,” says Bill Fiore, a William Raveis Real Estate agent and lifelong resident of the Springfield area. In fact, Big Y sources corn, squash and other produce from a few farms within the county. The neighborhood is within 5 miles of shopping centers on Boston Road that house Walmart, Lowe’s Home Improvement and other big-box stores.

Situated at the intersection of U.S. Route 20 and I-291
East Springfield’s large land area and network of highways and interstates make it a car-heavy community with limited walkability. U.S. Route 20 and Interstate 291 intersect in the neighborhood, and the latter leads to downtown Springfield, 5 miles away. “Most people work in downtown Springfield,” says Executive Real Estate Realtor Michael Lima, who sells homes across Springfield. “If you hop on the interstate, you can get there quickly, and traffic is never bad.” Mercy Medical Center is just outside of downtown. Airlines fly to more than 40 destinations from Bradley International Airport, about 20 miles away in Connecticut.
East Springfield Neighborhood Council keeps community clean
The East Springfield Neighborhood Council organizes initiatives such as Beautify East Springfield Together. These events gather volunteers to plant trees, touch up landscaping and clean up the neighborhood. Meanwhile, the East Springfield Branch of the Springfield City Library hosts local clubs for knitters and ukulele strummers and puts on family-friendly activities, such as cooking classes, throughout the week.
Springfield Museums and Marshall Roy Field highlight local recreation
Marshall Roy Field consists of a field with a baseball diamond in each corner. There’s also a playground and splash pad. It’s less than a 5-mile drive to downtown, where the Springfield Museums complex houses museums on art, science and Theodor Geisel, the Springfield native who published dozens of children’s books under the name Dr. Seuss. People also go downtown to see the Springfield Thunderbirds, a minor league hockey team affiliated with the St. Louis Blues, play at the MassMutual Center.
Marshall Roy Park is right behind Pottenger Elementary School.
