Bissett is a quiet escape from downtown Springfield
Away from the busy streets of downtown Springfield lies the Bissett neighborhood, where residents live in national-style homes surrounded by tall trees. Neighbors catch up at events hosted by the Bissett Neighborhood Association. Some might visit L.A. Wise Park to chat while they walk along the paved trail. Residents also have popular barbecue spots like Bubba’s BBQ and Missouri Mike’s BBQ & More, a little over a mile away. And when homeowners want more options for dining out or ways to have a fun weekend, they drive or take a CU Transit bus 4 miles to downtown Springfield. Bissett gives residents a quiet escape and easy access to city center fun.

National-style homes fill Bissett’s streets
The appearance of Bissett’s homes strikes a balance, says Peter Radecki, president of the Bissett Neighborhood Association. “There are some lots of an acre or larger, and right next to that are more modern subdivisions,” he says. Prices can range from $120,000 to $200,000, and most stay on the market for less than a week. The homes feature similar national-style designs with minor color variations. All have attached garages, hipped roofs and paved driveways. The homes are planted on neat lawns along the subdivision streets. Those that sit south of West Nichols Street have ranch and bungalow styles. “There’s a builder working on 12 new houses in that area,” says William Smith, a Realtor with AMAX Real Estate who has sold homes in Bissett. “Another builder is also going to add more houses soon.”
However, Radecki adds that Bissett is not a community bound by stern rules or covenants. “It’s not a neighborhood where if you ran a table saw or your grass is two inches too tall, people are going to complain. It’s a bit more relaxed,” he says.

Bissett Elementary School stands in the heart of the neighborhood, within walking distance for many families. Niche gives the elementary school a C-plus. Students later attend the C-rated Westport K-8 School for sixth through eighth grade and Central High School, which earns an A-minus. In 2024, the Central High boys' basketball team won their first district championship in 15 years.

Ordering dinner at Bubba’s BBQ
Hungry Bissett residents head south on the West Bypass to get lunch or dinner at Bubba’s BBQ. Customers can order a pulled pork sandwich or get down to business with their baby back ribs. Missouri Mike’s BBQ & More, located off West Chestnut Expressway, also has a full menu of smoked meats, juicy burgers and crispy chicken. Residents can make their own comfort food after picking up ingredients at Price Cutter or Dollar General.

For more ways to have fun outside, residents can take a short drive to Westport Park to play on the tennis courts or even more playground equipment. The Park Central Branch Library organizes events for visitors of all ages, including the First Friday Art Walk, where the library opens a brand-new art exhibit and allows the artist to present their work.

Business stays on track in Bissett
A railroad company lies north of the neighborhood. Residents might hear the far-off sound of trains moving along the tracks, but Smith says the trains move at walking speed and don’t sound off their horns. Three churches, including the Faith Baptist Church and Awakening Church of God, also sit nearby.
BNSF is one of Springfield's largest employers located in the Bissett neighborhood.
