A slow but growing neighborhood in West Springfield

About 3 miles west of Downtown Springfield, Ewing is a modest neighborhood of leafy residential streets to the west, industrial businesses to the east and growing commercial activity to the south. At the center of it all are two parks, one for sports and the other for nature and history enthusiasts. Though this is a primarily industrial area, Ewing has a few local shops and restaurants that residents often frequent, including one of Springfield’s most iconic diners. However, Mike Cook, owner of Mike’s Unique, a local flea market in Ewing, says things are picking up. “I started my business about 15 years ago,” says Cook. “Since I’ve been there, the whole area has just exploded with construction. We’ve got new shopping centers, and they’re building a Target right across the street. It’s the fastest growing part of Springfield right now.” But even with all the new businesses coming in, Cook says it’s still a slow-paced neighborhood. “Here, it’s a traffic jam if you have to sit through a red light more than once,” says Cook. “I love it. The company I worked for moved me around. I lived in Hawaii, Alaska, Miami, Houston and Seattle. When I got here, I said I’m not moving. The quality of life compared to all these big cities is fantastic.”

Modest ranch-style homes

Ewing has some of the most affordable homes in the city, averaging around $150,000, while Springfield’s average is approximately $275,000. The neighborhood features two- to three-bedroom ranch-style homes built between the mid-1900s and early 2000s. Most of these homes are situated on quarter- to half-acre lots with plentiful mature trees. They typically come with attached garages and range from 850 to 1,200 square feet, selling for around $125,000 to $200,000. Ewing also has rental options in many manufactured housing communities and apartment complexes.

Sports and history at two central parks

Two parks are located in the center of the neighborhood. Ewing Park is home to a sports complex with five ball fields used for local leagues. It also features three public tennis courts and the Spokes BMX Raceway. The dirt and cement track hosts weekly races for people of all ages. Rountree Historic Park, just a block away, offers more scenery with brick paths that weave under tall trees. The walkway leads to a cemetery with a stone wall enclosure, which is the final resting place of Joseph Rountree, a teacher who settled in Springfield in the early 1800s and built the area’s first school in the form of a log cabin where he taught local children. The park doesn’t allow dogs, but people can bring their pups to Cruse Dog Park, where they can run free in a fenced-in, 6-acre field.

College courses at Parkview High

Students attend Westport K-8 School just 7 blocks north. The combined elementary and middle school receives a C grade from Niche. Parkview High School is about 3 miles east of Ewing. It earns a C-plus grade and is ranked the second-most diverse high school in Springfield. The high school offers 14 dual credit courses through Missouri State University, allowing students to get a head start on post-secondary education.

A 3-mile drive to Downtown Springfield

City Utilities provides public buses along Grand Street, near most of the neighborhood’s homes. Grand Street leads to Missouri Route 13 on the east side, which can then be taken to Downtown Springfield for a total 3-mile trip. U.S. Route 160 is located on the west side and can be taken for a 7-mile drive north to Springfield-Branson National Airport.

A revived retro diner and new commercial developments

Retailers and restaurants can be found along Sunshine Street, mixed with industrial businesses on the south side of Ewing. Red’s Giant Hamburg is one of the city’s most beloved diners. It opened in the late 1940s at a different location and was a popular stop on the historic Route 66 until it closed in 1984. Red’s reopened in 2019 in its current location under new ownership and continues to offer a vintage vibe with Route 66 décor to honor the restaurant’s legacy while serving its homemade root beer, smash burgers and other American classics. The Springfield Plaza opened in 2017, bringing in Walmart, several other retailers and a Whataburger. Construction for a new shopping center started in summer 2024, with Target being the anchor store. No expected completion date has been announced. Cook, who sells products from 250 vendors across the street at Mike’s Unique, also started The Veteran Resell Store next to his shop. “We take and sell donated furniture and use the proceeds to build wheelchair ramps for veterans,” says Cook, “And we’re getting really good community support.”
