Quiet neighborhood close to parks and attractions
About 3 miles east of downtown, Bingham offers a leafy, suburban setting in the city while just a short distance from some of Springfield's top attractions. "It's a very quiet neighborhood," says Carter Cook, a local Realtor with eXp Realty. "There's a good mix of people who have been there for a while and first-time homebuyers." Cook adds that the neighborhood is a big draw because of its affordability, as the median sale price for a single-family home is $55,000 less than Springfield's median of $200,000. The suburban residential streets are surrounded by busy thoroughfares, like Glenstone Avenue, where a giant water tower stands out among the many stores and restaurants. Residents also have easy access to attractions like parks and minor league baseball games, while also having a quiet community to retreat to at the end of each day.
Bingham is within a few miles of downtown Springfield.

Midcentury homes in the middle of Springfield
Bingham is home to quiet, tree-lined neighborhood streets dotted with ranch-style houses. Cook says most of the homes have been around a while. "There's mostly three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes in the area. They're mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, nothing super modern," he says. Houses have a mix of brick, stone and wood exteriors and often have built-in garages. Many are built about 5 to 10 feet from each other on similar quarter-acre lots with lots of trees and fenced-in backyards. Most streets have sidewalks, giving residents walkable space to stroll through the neighborhood. Three-bedroom homes typically sell between $135,000 and $250,000. Four-bedroom homes are rare but can cost between $250,000 and $300,000.
